    Buhl is a northern Alsatian community located on the Seltzbach, 8 km west of Seltz. The name comes from "Bühel" – meaning a hill, because foothills of the Vosges end near the village. The village was settled by the Fleckenstein family, one of the most powerful families in Alsace. The last barons of Fleckenstein were Jacques and Christian Friedrich Wolfgang von Fleckenstein. Their tombstones can be found in the Protestant church. The Fleckenstein family owned a castle in Buhl, which was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War.

    Roadbook

    The starting point of the route is at the town hall in Rue des Seigneurs in Buhl. From the starting point, proceed along Rue des Seigneurs towards the town center to the junction with Rue des Vignes, where you turn right. At the end of the street, you reach a field path leading to D 104, which you cross there. On the field path starting opposite, walk about 200 m and then turn left onto a small hollow path leading to D 752. After crossing, continue first 570 m westward and then south along the Seltzbach around Buhl until the sewage treatment plant. From the access road there, you reach D 752 and finally turn left onto a meadow path along D 752 back to the starting point.
