This beautiful, undulating circular route through the woodland complements a previous, shorter route. It covers all the previous points of interest, with the addition of a few alternative routes and other interesting stops along the way. From the Grotte de Danne, you’ll need to make your way from the Rocher du Breitkopf to the Grotte Saint-Vit, then head to the Rocher de Blumenthal to reach Lock 24 towards Lutzelbourg, and finish at Roche Plate and the washhouse route near the Finstingerkopf Forest House… these are the main directions for this walk.
