A lovely walk through the forest and vineyards from the Ringelbacherkreuz (a small pass between Waldulm and Ringelbach) to the Schauenburg castle, which overlooks the town of Oberkirch. Superb views of the plain and Strasbourg from the Schauenburg.

Hike to the highest peak in the northern Black Forest, the Hornisgrinde (1,164 m), which you climb twice, first from the south and then from the north. Superb panoramic view of the Rhine plain. You pass the TV transmitter with its impressive 206 m high transmission tower. The route then passes through Ochsenstall, from where you reach the Unterstmatt ski resort. You return via another climb up the Hornisgrinde, then cross the peat bogs before passing the Dreifürstenstein.

Starting from Hoenheim Gare tram station (terminus of line B), which is also a stop on the Strasbourg–Lauterbourg TER train line and a stop for several bus routes, this is a lovely, easy walk to Strasbourg, the Russian Orthodox Church and the Orangerie Park.

A beautiful, undulating walk through the forests of Baerenthal and the Hanau Pond, ending at the ruins of Ramstein Castle

Beautiful hike along the Moder from Kaltenhouse to Haguenau, with a tour of the town centre of Haguenau. Very pleasant in spring.

A "Waalweg" in South Tyrol is a path that runs alongside a small irrigation canal. These irrigation canals, often well hidden, were created on the hillsides to water the vineyards, orchards and fields; they operate thanks to a sophisticated system of slopes and sluice gates where each farmer can use the water for their crops.The Algund Waalweg is certainly the most iconic and offers a magnificent panorama of Algund, Meran and Dorf Tirol.

The Brennersteig route (distillery route) is a pleasant walk near Oberkirch, in the foothills of the Black Forest, winding through woods, orchards and vineyards.As it is not particularly difficult, this walk is ideal for a family outing.
