Wine and tree-growing circular on the heights of Cleebourg

Hike along paved paths and trails through vineyards and orchards in the hills above Cleebourg. This route is ideal after heavy rain as the paths are clean and passable. The walk starts near the school in Oberhoffen-les-Wissembourg. Halfway along the route, after about two hours' walking, you can stop for a bite to eat at the Cleebourg restaurant, visit the cellars and taste the different grape varieties. You will be overlooking the villages of Cleebourg, Rott and Oberhoffen-les-Wissembourg with superb views.

Description of the walk

Park in one of the parking spaces on Rue de l'École in Oberhoffen-les-Wissembourg. Very easy to access by car.

(S/E) At the end of Rue de l'École, turn right and take the pavement along Rue Principale (D240) until you reach the sign for Oberhoffen-les-Wissembourg.

(1) Turn right onto Rue de la Forêt, which is the start of the discovery trail. Follow the green cross markings until you reach a four-way crossroads.

(2) Turn right, following the green disc markings, continue along this discovery trail until you reach a new X-shaped crossroads.

(3) Continue straight ahead, following the green disc markings, and you will soon come to a T-junction.

(4) Turn left, 90°, towards the wine trail, and climb up to the heights of Cleebourg, to the chalet where you can stop for a picnic.

(5) Descend on the right, through the vineyards, to reach the village of Cleebourg.

(6) Take Rue Principale on the right. Follow this almost straight road to the end of the village.

(7) Turn right onto Rue Wolf and follow the yellow disc trail. After a few bends, you will find the Cleebourg wine cellars at the junction with the D77.

(8) Turn right onto the path marked with a red ring. A few steps further on, you will return to the T-junction you passed on the way there.

(4) Continue straight ahead until you reach the X-shaped crossroads, which you also passed on the way there.

(3) Here, take the Anneau Rouge marked trail on the left. Follow the path through the fields until you reach the D240. Turn right and follow it for a few metres until you reach the trail junction.

(9) Turn left towards Rott, still following the red ring markings. Pass in front of the Roetz Mill. Walk along fields and vineyards to reach a four-way crossroads in the shape of an X at a place called Madenwiese.

(10) Turn right, with the D3 on your left. You will reach an X-shaped crossroads.

(11) Turn right and follow the well-marked path straight ahead to reach the orchards and car park on Rue de l'École in Oberhoffen-les-Wissembourg (S/E).

It’s a lovely circular route, easy to walk and with some lovely views. But 95% of the route is on tarmac paths. (It’s not my favourite.)
