(S/E) Walk up the road and take the path on the right, following the blue-white-blue Blue Rectangle markings. On leaving the forest onto a small road, turn left and head towards the cemetery.
(1) Turn left (Red Disc), heading north-west, across the fields to Aspach-le-Haut. When you reach the D34, walk a few metres to the right, cross (at the pedestrian crossing) and turn right until you reach the junction with Rue du Rossberg, which curves to the left. Walk on for about fifty metres.
(2) Turn left onto Rue des Sapins (Yellow Ring) and continue through the forest to the ponds.
(3) Take the path between the two ponds to a wide track (Yellow Ring and Red Cross) and follow it to the left until you reach the junction.

(7) Turn off again onto the path leading down to the left into the forest (Red Triangle). At the multi-way junction, cross with care, continue straight ahead and quickly take the path on the left (Red Triangle). Reach a crossroad, cross it carefully, continue straight ahead (Red-White-Red Rectangle) and rejoin the road.
(8) Cross it carefully, turn left for about 80 m, then right (Blue Ring) and head towards the Doller campsite.
(9) Walk past the campsite, continue along the road and take the path (Blue Ring). At the next junction, turn left, then at the junction with a large cross-road, follow the path to the right until you reach a bench at a junction.
