A short circular loop at the foot of the Demberg

(S/E) In the car park at Place du Marché, turn your back on the road and take the alleyway on your left. At the end of this, turn right onto Rue du Florival, then leave this street when it turns left, continuing straight ahead.

A little further on, at the first three-way junction in the road, turn left onto Rue du Breuel, ignoring the road leading to the church, then at the second three-way junction (be careful, it’s easy to miss this one), turn slightly to the right. You’ll then start a gentle climb and pass behind the cemetery

(1) At the top, at the junction, turn left and enter the wooded area. Carry on straight ahead to the end of the path.

(2) When you reach the D40.2 county road, take the sharp right-hand bend onto the small dirt track that climbs uphill. Carry on straight ahead and begin the climb to the highest point of your circular route. Do not change direction until the track naturally curves to the left.

(3) At this point, take the first path on the right. Carry on straight ahead to the end of the path, descending gently towards the village.

(4) At the junction, turn right and enter Buhl again. Walk downhill to the crossroads, in the centre of which stands a traffic island with a bench and an old wash house. Turn left to continue downhill. About a hundred metres further down, turn right onto Rue de l’École. Walk downhill until you reach the car park where you started (S/E).

This walk requires no special equipment and is suitable for everyone.
However, after rain, the section between waypoints (2) and (4) may be muddy and slippery. Sturdy footwear is therefore required.

Between waypoints (1) and (2), you’ll pass the Sainte-Vierge de Kentelackerweg on your left, which also offers a view of the Hochkopf and the hamlet of Rimlishof below, behind the Breitenbachzung stream that separates the two mountains.
The Demberg, the ‘sacred mountain of the people of Buhlo’, which you will walk along the lower part of its eastern slope.
Between the waypoints (3) and (4), you’ll be able to enjoy a beautiful view of the southern part of Buhl.
