THE TRÂ KIEUCHEU DÉ MOTEU TRAIL

Trâ kieucheu dé Moteu or Bulbes is one of three short walks designed for those with little time to spare when visiting Saint-Quirin. It takes 1 hour to complete and is of moderate difficulty, given the terrain. As it is a circular route, it can be walked in either direction. Please note that the description is clockwise.

The start is in the parish priest's garden (behind the main church - rue de l'abbaye).

- Walk 300 m up rue de l'Abbaye towards the cemetery. Turn left for 50 m onto the path perpendicular to the cemetery, climb the 3 steps to the right and follow the path into the undergrowth.

- After 240 m, continue to the left towards milestone no. 485.

- After 50m and a few steps, take the wide track on the left.

- After 300m and a steep climb, the path joins the forest road (RF) to Haute-Chapelle, which you should follow to the right. As you go along, you can admire the ice rock on your left, which can turn into an ice organ in winter.

- After 800m, you are at the junction of the Haute-Chapelle and Stée footpaths. Take the large track on your right.

- After 150m, turn right onto a small track that leads down to the stadium. Follow this for 600m until you reach a tarmac road which you will walk up on the right for 150m.

- When you come to a calvary, take the small concrete staircase with 5 steps and follow the grassy path upwards along a fenced meadow.

- After 230m you will come to the Haute-Chapelle and a panoramic view of the village.

- Head back down towards the village along the wide stone path which, after 400m, leads to the church next to the parish priest's garden. The church houses a Silbermann organ and a chandelier from Saint-Louis-lès-Bitche.
