Roadbook
Take the D 148 for 40 meters towards Lac Blanc, then turn right to start the forest trail that follows the route of the former Franco-German border of 1870. After 150 m, you will find the first border marker of the circuit, number 2701. The markers are engraved with an "F" for Frankreich on the west side and a "D" for Deutschland on the other. Follow the marked route with the different markers whose numbers follow each other. After marker number 2708, avoid the quagmire by passing on the left. Continue the trail straight towards Haut Feignet, cross the Page forest road to climb the summit of Louschbach. Midway, follow the marking (vertical black rectangle) and take the path that leads back to D 148. Follow the edge of the route des Crêtes towards the Louschbach pass. The "Sentier des bornes" section ends here after counting nearly 40 markers (a few are missing). The return is via the path (G.R.531) that leaves left of the pass, marked with a blue rectangle that winds under the D148 and returns to the starting circuit, 500 meters from the arrival at Col du Bonhomme. Marking: vertical black rectangle on the outbound path then blue rectangle for the return
