A peaceful hike that will take you to Sewen Lake and its peat bogs, then to Alfeld Lake, which is very different with its dam. The path is flat until you reach the foot of the dam, then climbs a little.
Park in Sewen square, next to the church.
(S) Follow the road towards Ballon d'Alsace for 50 metres.
(1) Take the bridge on the right. Follow the Seebach stream, taking the small path on the left after the bridge. Follow the blue rectangles. The path quickly joins the shores of Lake Sewen.
(2) After the lake, walk along marshy ground before climbing up to Lake Alfeld.
(3) Return to the starting point via the same path in the opposite direction, until you reach the car park (E).
This is an easy hike, but walking shoes are still recommended, especially for the climb to Lake Alfeld.
During heavy rain or snowmelt, parts of the trail may be flooded. You may need to turn back.
Benches have been installed at the edge of Lake Sewen. There are also pleasant places to sit at Lake Alfeld.

beautiful hike through diverse landscapes, forest meadow lake
pretty waterfalls along the way.
In early September, there were few visitors, but the passage through the rocks was a little difficult before arriving at Lake Alfeld.

A beautiful undergrowth, beautiful waterfalls, busy but no more than that. We continued on to the Auberge du Baerenbach, finishing with 10km.

Lovely walk. Lovely route with some magnificent waterfalls during a very rainy season. Several picnic spots. Beware: Lake Alfeld is very busy in fine weather.

A beautiful walk through woodland with pretty moss-covered walls, flower-filled meadows and streams, ending with an excellent blueberry tart or Sieskas at the Lochberg farmhouse inn.

Superb hike. We're doing it for the second time and enjoying it just as much. Don't hesitate to stray from the path to get as close as possible to the waterfalls and stream. In summer and at weekends - very busy

A lovely, relatively easy walk, accessible to a wide range of people. Attractive lakes and small waterfalls. Be careful, however, where you put your feet towards the end of the route on the stony path (on the way up and on the way back down) and watch out for children so that they don't get too close to the cliff edges (towards the waterfalls). A pleasant walk in warm weather, as you'll appreciate being in the shade of the forest! Easy picnic near Lake Alfed.

An easy, pleasant route, but the stony path at the end of the Hinteralfeld - Sewen section requires particular vigilance.

An easy and pleasant route. If you have children, avoid the part marked dangerous. Go further to the right (in the direction of Sewen lac Alfeld).
