The hike

This superb hike starts in the valley and leads you to the highest point of the Northern Vosges: the Grand Wintersberg

Once at the summit, there are several possibilities for the return journey: follow the GR53 route, take the red triangle towards Lichteneck, or the blue one through the Durschbach valley

Departure to the city centre of Niederbronn-les-Bains - avenue de la Libération - pass under the railway bridge in front of the miniature golf course - allée des Tilleuls - rue Charles Mathis - follow the main signposting along the Falkensteinerbach stream to Breitenwasen - cross the N62 - pass the Riesthal forest house - Rockenberg - Grand Wintersberg - return to Niederbronn-les-Bains by the variant of your choice.
