Unfortunately the route is blocked between point 12 and the end. There is a new metal barrier blocking the way

If Hombourg-Haut is renowned for its history, the city is not devoid of natural assets either. In the middle of its beautiful verdant forest, we find in particular the charming pond of the Papiermühle. With its picnic tables, it is the perfect place for a break in the middle of a walk.
