At the parking area opposite the Maison Forestière Scherhol, turn right, then almost immediately left up the Sentier Edouard Ditenbeck. This soon reaches the remains of a redoute, a defensive earthwork dating back to the war of the Spanish Succession.

The GR53 crosses an adjacent parking area, heading for Scherhol Sommet, still accompanied by the bank and ditch of the old defensive system. Keep on the well-signed woodland path, turning left along a vehicle track and following the major path to the Scherhol junction.

Take the left-hand path, which leads past another embankment-and-ditch defensive work and an unlocked Club Vosgien shelter to reach the Col Du Pigeonnier refuge. Opening times are restricted, but there is an open shelter at the rear and accessible drinking water.

Below the refuge the GR53 takes the Sentier Robert Redslob, signposted to Climbach. This descends through the trees, turning off sharply left almost immediately to head downhill. After about 15min it joins a vehicle track. Turn left, then when another track comes in from the right, follow it ahead. In another 15min, turn right along the road into Climbach.
