From the Rouge Gazon parking area, take the GR531 (blue rectangle) towards the Col des Perches. At the Col des Perches, turn left onto the miners' trail (yellow circle). The trail descends to a col between the Rambachkopf and the Essenbachkopf, where the shelter is located. It can also be reached from the Col du Rambach by following the forest path parallel to the GR5 leading to Gazon Vert. It is also possible, from Rouge Gazon, to descend to Gazon Vert via a discovery trail (red rectangle with a white diagonal) and then reach the shelter from Gazon Vert via the forest path leading to the Col du Rambach.
Three-walled shelter in very good condition. According to the inscription carved on a beam, it dates back to 2011. Equipped with a large table with a bench on each side and two other benches along the side walls, it comfortably accommodates about ten people. The back wall features a barbecue fireplace (grill present). Its orientation exposes it to full sun between 12:00 and 14:00, which is pleasant in cold weather. Fifteen minutes away is the Gazon Vert waterfall and the old farm shelter of Gazon Vert, which has a tap water point (turned off in winter).
