Departure from Wintzenheim (Haut-Rhin)
This walk offers a chance to take a break and soak up some history and culture. Set in a region renowned for its castles – particularly the Three Castles of Éguisheim – this area is well worth exploring. The entire walk takes place through a beautiful forest. In total, you’ll pass no fewer than six castles along the route. In addition to these, there are rock formations and a fountain. Those who enjoy rock formations will also be in for a treat with the Rocher Turenne, the Roche du Corbeau and the Rocher d’Ehrbergkopf.
The GPX track may prove very useful.

Departure from Turckheim (Haut-Rhin)
Viticulture is an integral part of the Alsatian landscape. There is even a route named after it. This route is the third stage of the vineyard trail and links Turckheim to Ribeauvillé. There are numerous vantage points, indeed they are almost everywhere outside the villages. The villages themselves are very traditional, with pretty half-timbered houses, and possess an undeniable charm. The region’s heritage is equally well represented.
