A lovely walk in the forest, after a nice climb with a few steep sections to point 3.

Mixed opinion on this route. Basically, the trail is uninteresting. You pass by Schauenberg Monastery and Saint Marc Convent, which are beautiful buildings, but the route is very difficult to follow: the trail has been poorly marked and passes through paths with lots of fallen trees. It also passes through paths that are rarely used and therefore difficult to see. I would not recommend it to inexperienced hikers.
I often use the app and this is one of the least accessible routes.
One more thing: don't try to get to the starting point by car, as it's located on a very small street with no parking. Park in the centre of the village instead.

This walk is more for getting some fresh air than for enjoying the scenery, which can only be seen at the start of the walk until you reach Schauenberg. The rest of the walk is in the forest.
Fortunately, there are signs to help you find your way. I assume the route was mapped out by hand, as the app often beeped even when we were on the path.
We only saw one other person on the entire route, in the middle of the afternoon.

The first part of the trail is a bit poorly marked, giving the impression that you've lost your way.
The hike is pleasant, cool in the woods, ending in the vineyards when it gets warmer.

Hello,

it's very busy for a weekday, which is surprising. And with the bad weather today, even more so. Are you sure about the date?

Classic route around Schauenberg, both to the south (Westhalten) and to the north (Gueberschwihr quarries). Beautiful panoramic views of the Alsace plain. Impressive cliffs of the Gueberschwihr quarries. Nature reserve at the foot of the cliffs.

A pleasant and easy route. We did it in sleet and wind, but it was interesting.
To be repeated in good weather.

Disappointing, too much forest with difficult navigation on the last third of the route. The only points of interest were the two sites to visit along the route

completed today at 11 a.m. under bright sunshine and a temperature of 15°C, which allowed us to enjoy the route. Please note that points 5 and 6 are unreliable, but you can still find your way. For the start at the village square, turn left at the top.

It was a superb walk in glorious sunshine with perfect weather conditions and birds singing to celebrate the arrival of spring in bloom.
We enjoyed this route with its very pleasant paths, which gave us a superb 180° view of the Alsace plain with a clear view of the Alps and, of course, the Black Forest in the background.
Highly recommended for a lovely afternoon.

Thank you for your appreciation. Indeed, this is a great way to get started at this time of year
It's good to take stock of the condition of the trails, fallen trees and branches.

A good short hike to warm up. Currently, the forest isn't very pretty due to a lack of greenery and many fallen and uprooted trees. But above all, it can be dangerous at times, as the trails are littered with branches and tree trunks that fell during the last snowfall (not all of the trails have been cleared). The points of interest are closed (due to Covid-19). I think this hike is best done in summer or autumn.
