Description of the walk

Start at the wash house, at the intersection of Rue de la Ganzau and Rue Saint-Ignace in Neuhof.

(S/E) Enter the forest on the Route de la Faisanderie. 20 metres after the start, take the path on the left that runs alongside the Rhin Tortu or Krimmeri ("Krumme Rhin" meaning "crooked Rhine" in Alsatian). Ignore a footbridge on the left.

(1) At the intersection, continue straight ahead, leaving the path on your right. Head south and turn left at the crossroads.

(2) Near a flour mill, turn right and continue straight ahead until the next intersection.

(3) Follow the path on the right until you reach Route de la Faisanderie, where you will find the Rebmann Oak.

(4) Cross this road, then follow Chemin du Rheingarttenweg for about 100 metres and turn right onto the Faisanderie path heading north. Ignore the two footbridges on your left.
Pass the outdoor school.

(5) Turn right three times and cross the Route de la Faisanderie again to return to the path you took on the way there.

(1) Turn left and return to the wash house on Route de la Ganzau (S/E).

A nice, accessible short hike with beautiful autumn colours. However, it's not very interesting, as it's a forest route the whole way with no scenery... Nice for a short walk in the shade in summer, but nothing more.
I did this hike with a dog, and there were lots of ticks, so I advise you to be careful.

An easy and pleasant walk in the woods in hot weather.
But impossible to find Rebman's oak tree (neither standing nor lying down!), but that's not a big deal...

The best thing about this route is that it is entirely shaded. As it was very hot, I chose this route.
Another positive point is that there are benches along the entire route.
There was a slight error in the route guidance, as my satnav was a little slow to update my location.
However, it is important to note that this is a nature reserve and dogs must be kept on a leash and are not allowed to swim in the "Rhin tordu" river that runs alongside the trail (there are forest police patrols).
Otherwise, it's a very nice walk.

A lovely, easy walk in the forest (1½ to 2 hours depending on your pace). Forest, Rebmann oak, Becker mill, stream, flowering water lilies, deer... very pleasant.

A pleasant little walk through a forest that I enjoyed discovering. Some rather remarkable oak and beech trees.
