Starting from the first car park at the entrance to the Markstein resort, in the triangle formed by the D430, D731 and Route des Crêtes (closed in winter), the route follows forest trails and paths. Part of the route runs alongside ski slopes and crosses beautiful wooded areas.You will pass above the Markstein farmhouse inn, visible below. The trail then continues through a pleasant coniferous forest before reaching the Treh farmhouse inn, an iconic landmark in the area.From this inn, the climb becomes steeper towards Trehkopf. The ascent, short but dynamic, leads to an altitude of over 1,200 metres. At the summit, your efforts are richly rewarded with a generous panorama of the Vosges mountains. On a clear day, the view extends even further, revealing the Alps on the horizon.
