Park in the car park in front of Saint Paul’s Church in Koenigshoffen. This church is located at the junction of Rue du Schnockeloch and Rue de la Tour. You can also park your car in the car park in front of Saint Paul’s Church at the junction of Route des Romains and Rue du Schnockeloch.
(S/E) On leaving the car park, take Rue de la Tour on the right. Turn right onto Piste François Faber and follow the road alongside the Jewish cemetery in Koenigshoffen. Cross the small bridge.

(2) Turn back, turn right onto Rue du Schnockeloch, turn left onto this street, then cross the bridge over the Muhlbach.
(3) Turn right just after the bridge over the Muhlbach to enter Albert Schweitzer Park. Be sure to admire Villa Schweitzer, even though it is in a sorry state.
Go under the railway line and walk around the two sports halls on the left.
(4) Go under a second railway line and continue slightly to the right. Please note that this section is closed from 7.00 am to 6.00 pm in winter and from 7.00 am to 9.00 pm in summer.

Follow the canal without crossing it, passing under the two railway bridges and then the road bridge. Immediately after this, leave the cycle path and turn right to follow the banks of the Ill as closely as possible.
Further on, rejoin the cycle path and continue straight on to reach the Route de Schirmeck.
(5) Cross the Route de Schirmeck, continue along the cycle path and pass under the railway bridge. Join the Piste François Faber and go straight on to the Rue de la Tour, following the Jewish cemetery.
