Car park located near the Obertor gate in Ammerschwihr and the Saint Wendelin Chapel.
(S/E) Go down and follow Rue du Sandbach to cross the Walbach. Follow the small road marked with a blue disc, which leads into the vineyard before turning into a path and entering the forest. Ignore all side roads.
(1) At the first and second forks, keep to the right. At the third fork, leave the path that descends directly to Route du Bonhomme and climb slightly to pass behind Saint-Wolfgang Chapel.
(2) Join Route du Bonhomme, cross it carefully as it is always very busy, follow Rue de l'Ancienne Gare and go up Rue du Général De Gaulle on the left. Cross Kaysersberg staying on this street, taking the opportunity to visit the Sainte-Croix Church, and reach the bridge over the Weiss, with a view of the Oberhof Chapel. Do not cross the bridge, but continue straight ahead on Rue des Forgerons until you reach the stairs leading to the castle.
(3) Climb up to the castle and enjoy the view of the town and valley.
(4) Leaving the castle's inner courtyard, go back up and follow the first vineyard path on the right, which starts near the keep and heads horizontally towards Kientzheim.
This unmarked path follows the contours of the land before leading to a small tarmac road that takes you down to the village's Upper Gate (Obertor) and its memorial wagon, commemorating the liberation of the Colmar pocket.
(5) Do not enter the village, but instead take the rampart path on the left. Follow this path around the ramparts to the Chapel of Saint-Félix and Sainte-Régule, which is well worth a visit. A passageway allows you to cross the moat to reach the chapel.
(6) Take Rue de la Chapelle to reach Lupfen-Schwendi Castle, now the headquarters of the Confrérie de Saint-Étienne.
(7) Walk up Grand Rue and, at Rue des Tonneliers, turn left into Rue Golbery and walk past the entrance to Château des Ifs.
(8) Continue straight ahead until you reach a path at the end of the property, which takes you along the right-hand side of the Weiss diversion canal. Follow Rue des Bains to the right to reach Grand Rue. Walk up Grand Rue to the left and you will reach Château de Reichenstein and the Upper Gate.
(5) Take the rampart path you took on the way there to reach the small tarmac road that leads to Riquewihr. Go up this road and turn right onto the first vineyard path, which joins another path that leads to the village of Sigolsheim on the right, passing by the Oberhof, a former convent of the Poor Clares.
(9) Descend to Sigolsheim by following the road to the right and continue straight ahead through the village on Rue de la1e Armée.
(10) Visit the neo-Romanesque church dedicated to Saint Peter and Saint Paul. Continue along the street, cross the D28 road leading to Kaysersberg, follow the street opposite, slightly to the left, and continue straight ahead to reach the Weiss. Walk along the Weiss on your right until you reach Rue des Marguerites.
(11) Follow Rue des Marguerites on the left. At the end of the street, turn right to join the road connecting Ammerschwihr and Kientzheim.
(12) Turn right, then immediately left to cross the Walbach, join Rue Mourier on the left and follow it to the cemetery. At the traffic lights, cross the D415 and take Chemin des Remparts to reach the Obertor car park (S/E).
