A beautiful hike that is not too long but includes a few steep hills. While the old town's heritage is remarkable, the route on the heights of Ribeauvillé is also worth a detour with its three castles and the monastery of Notre-Dame de Dusenbach.

Departure from Ribeauvillé (Haut-Rhin) (Haut-Rhin)
A fairly demanding hike, as there is a long climb right from the start, but one that offers numerous incredible views.You start by climbing up to the three castles via paths through the vineyards, then ascend the Taennechel via its fairly steep south-eastern peak, known as the Rocher de la Paix d’Udine, which also offers a rather striking view over the Alsace plain.
Next, we explore the numerous sandstone outcrops dotting the ridge before descending back to Ribeauvillé.

Departure from Dambach-la-Ville (Bas-Rhin)
Vine growing is an integral part of the Alsatian landscape. There is also a route named after it. This route is the fifth stage of the vineyard walk and connects Dambach-la-Ville to Obernai. There are numerous vantage points, indeed they are almost everywhere outside the villages. The villages themselves are very typical, with pretty half-timbered houses and undeniable charm. The region’s heritage is equally well represented.
