Abreschviller walks

The idea was to go for a walk with friends after two missed meet-ups due to the rain! So I decided to create a route for the occasion, starting from the place where I grew up.

Hilly route starting from the hamlet of Lettenbach, taking the Circulaire des Quatre Roches and the Circulaire du Vieux Château. Don't miss a visit to the Verriers Church in the hamlet, which houses the crystal rose (Route des 7 Roses, remarkable chapels and churches around Saint Quirin): Renaissance façade, bulbous bell tower topped with a golden cockerel and covered, like the roof, with larch and spruce shingles. Then explore the archaeological site of Croix Guillaume (habitats, necropolis and quarries).

Saint-Quirin is listed as one of the "most beautiful villages in France". A rich heritage of sanctuaries can be discovered in Saint-Quirin and in the parishes belonging to the priory, known as the Sept Roses route. Following this route, you will also pass by the Gallo-Roman site of Croix Guillaume.

Saint-Quirin, one of the most beautiful villages in France, founded before the 10th century, is also an important Celtic site with several archaeological sites. This hike will help you discover them.

A walk in the Vosges foothills, under the trees and with a beautiful view of Abreschviller. I wanted to revisit a walk I used to do regularly with my parents when I was a teenager. Unfortunately, the storm of 1999 took its toll and the path has been completely washed away in places. The Club Vosgien has redefined a new route from Saint-Léon. I preferred to go back 45 years and offer you my retro walk along the original path.

A little-used circular path in the forest, taking in the rocks, rocky outcrops and viewpoints surrounding the hamlet of Grand Soldat.

A beautiful hike through the forest with some slightly wild passages and beautiful views of Rocher du Canceley and Grand Rommelstein.

Walscheid, a picturesque village at the gateway to the Vosges, is well worth a visit. There are many hiking trails, including this one, which takes in a wealth of attractions such as the Gallo-Roman cemetery, the ruins of Heidenschloss, the Durrenberg promontory and the Saint Léon cave.

A magnificent hike, with no major difficulties apart from access to the Grand Rougimont - the ruins of Turquestein Castle - the fairy rock and the boundary stone trail, which will take you back to the Middle Ages. Moderator's addition on 23/08/2021: This hike will soon be prohibited as it is on private property. See the comments at the bottom of this page

A beautiful hike that will allow you to discover sites, rocks and landscapes between the slopes of the Zorn Valley.

I had wanted to hike in this mountain range for a long time, and now I've done it! There were signs prohibiting passage on a previous route, but I didn't really know where to find them, so I set off on an adventure and ended up finding an "authorised passage". So, under a bright sun, I was able to access these iconic red sandstone rocks and enjoy the exceptional 360° view from the Grand Rougimont viewpoint over the Donon and the Lorraine plateau. For those who appreciate the iconic natural curiosities of the Northern Vosges, don't hesitate to visit the Trois Pierres and Petit Rougimont: they are well worth the detour in a magnificent forest setting!

A pleasant short walk suitable for the whole family around Wackenberg, with an elevation gain of less than 100 metres.

Nice walk into the woodlands with a viewpoint over the Rocher du Hohwalsch. The viewpoint at the rocher du Hohwalschplatz gives you a nice view of the surroundings, even until the lake of Gondrexange.

A very beautiful hike starting from Neustadtmuhle, discovering the Rocher des Siamois, passing by the Heidenschlossfels, and the rock face of the Geisterfelsen. Much of the hike takes place in the forest on beautiful marked trails.

Discover the sights around the Rocher de Dabo, a historic site dating back to Celtic, Roman and medieval times. This walk takes you to two sites whose history (both ancient and more recent) is closely linked to their unusual geographical location.

A pleasant hike that will allow you to discover the cave dwellings of Haselbourg and the Geisterfels rock barrier while admiring magnificent landscapes.

Near the Arzwiller inclined plane, a walk from the Trois Bacs fountain to the Rocher du Calice, following the rocky outcrops.
