Loop route crossing the communal boundaries of Hindisheim and Limersheim.
Access can be made from any point of the loop but it is suggested to park your vehicle in front of Hindisheim’s football field on Rue de la Kaltau. Head due south on the forest path marked with a red ring to a calvary. Continue left, then very quickly right again due south.
You remain along a stream then a small forest to go north to reach the village of Limersheim.
At the corner of Binnen Street/Circulaire Street turn right to cover 90% of the commune’s loop still following the red ring. Leave Circulaire Street to take Rue Haute on your right then Rue des Bois and enter the fields to gradually reach the parking lot of Hindisheim’s football field.
