The Grand Cru Tour of Central Alsace

This route is reserved for mountain bikes, with or without electric assistance.
Around Labaroche, Le Cras and Petit Hohnack
Labaroche is a very large commune. This hike takes you around the upper part of the village, so the elevation gain is modest. The route is divided into two parts and goes around Le Cras and Petit Hohnack. The detour around Le Cras follows forest paths to the Herrenwasen pass.
This hike includes a few sections on small mountain roads and is particularly recommended in autumn when nature is ablaze with colour.

Tour of the Petit Hohneck
This is a short hike in the hills with beautiful views of the small and large Munster valleys, the Petit Ballon, the Hohneck, the Frankenthal, the Schlucht and the Trois Fours.Good footwear is required as there are a few sections where you have to climb over rocks (north face of the Petit Hohneck) and the descent from Schaefferthal to Gaschney is very rocky.With a bit of luck, you may encounter some chamois grazing on the mountain pastures.
⚠️ This hike is not accessible in winter. See here for closed marked trails .
From Wassmatt to Boenlesgrab
The starting point for this hike in the Petit Ballon massif is at Wassmatt, at an altitude of over 800 m, which reduces the elevation gain. After reaching Buchwald with its hundred-year-old beech trees and panoramic view of the Wasserbourg valley, the Alsace plain and the Black Forest, the route takes us to the peaks and then plunges through the forest to Boenlesgrab. The return journey, which is more peaceful, passes through Dreischoepf and Hanspen before reaching Wassmatt again.
