The documented route
The OSM description presents a north–south journey through fortified castles. This entry covers the available main chain; access branches are not included in its distance. The Three Castles circuit in the Alsatian Jura remains a separate hike.
Choose access and return points
The project links different places. Arrange access to the start and a return from the chosen finish; for a section, use its own endpoints rather than those of the full itinerary.
Plan the sections
The available main track is continuous. Divide its length around places you actually intend to reach and return arrangements, without adding a shortcut or a connection absent from the source.
Read the waymarks
Red castle wall with white keep. The symbol helps read the relation. Check it at junctions and compare any discrepancy with the chosen route map. On its own, it establishes neither difficulty nor opening conditions.
