Michel has produced another variant from April 26, 2007 trip.
The next time we need to slow down at kilometer 10 (mile 6.2), as the "Erzenbach" waterfall is just 50m (160 feet) to the left!

15 MTB (Huguette, Claude, Michel, Denis, 2 Thierry, Thomas, Gérald, Maxime, Fabien, Yves, Julien, Christian, 2 Christophe)
appointment at 6:30PM in Guebwiller There is a lot of people and everybody seems (yet) happy!
Today, we are going to the vineyard....
Stop stop!! Denis should control all bikes.
We are going to Bergholtz Zell, Orschwihr, Soultzmatt, a great rise in the vineyard to reach the calvary (or the cherry tree !!) Near Pfaffenheim we turn back (direction Schaefersloch (?)) then climb to the chapel of Oelberg. Nice trail between trees then going round the quarry (I'm not sure if it is exact on the map!) Stop in the field over Westhalten, downhill and cross the village. There is no climb anymore ... Oops! this is really the last one to join the Chapel of Bollenberg. Meanwhile we meet a viper (TBC!) and Gerald trains to a change of chain! Arrival to Guebwiller
20h50 For a first trip, it was more sportly than the Waldeck!!
