Epfig walks

An unpretentious walk, ideal in autumn or winter to avoid muddy paths. Beautiful Romanesque Sainte-Marguerite Chapel along the route. The route often follows the Club Vosgien's Anneau Bleu route, which goes around Epfig.

Enjoy a 360° view of one of the prettiest vineyards in the Bas-Rhin with views of the Vosges foothills. In good weather, you can see Strasbourg Cathedral, the Black Forest and even the Bernese Alps. An easy hike in the Schernetz Valley, through vineyards, including two famous sites: the "Sohlenberg" (pink sandstone from the Vosges) and the "Shiefferberg" (schist soil). You will pass through three authentic villages and the Chapel of the 14 Saints next to Baumgarten Abbey.

A short, easy hike that alternates between pleasant little vineyard roads and good forest paths. The Château du Haut-Andlau, built in the 13th century and still in good condition, is the highlight of this figure-of-eight route. There are also some beautiful views to enjoy.

An easy hike that will take you to the two castles of Andlau: Andlau and Spesbourg.

The Grand 8 of the Andlau Valley is not a fairground attraction but a very long hike, even a challenge, but certainly not a competition. A hike for seasoned walkers or for walkers who are not afraid of suffering, or both. In one day for the more adventurous or in two days for the more reasonable. The hike is not technically difficult but is very long and requires good stamina.

The Ungersberg offers a panoramic view of the Alsace plain. Ideal in autumn when the vineyards are ablaze with colour.

This is a classic route that will take you past magnificent castles set on granite bases, offering beautiful views of the plain and even the Alps if the weather is favourable. Halfway along the route, the little Huhnelmuhle inn is a great place to stop for a bite to eat in a very friendly atmosphere. The return journey takes you through the vineyards.

A beautiful circular walk from Andlau, accessible to all. The circuit passes through vineyards at the start, then takes you to the Haut-Andlau and Spesbourg castles. There are beautiful views along the route (Kastelberg - Rocher Sainte Richarde - Spesbourg). There is a fun section via the "Chemin des Espiègles" (Path of the Mischievous Ones), with little wooden gnomes placed on the trees.

A very pleasant hike through villages and vineyards with beautiful views!

A circular route starting from Barr station, accessible by train from Strasbourg or Sélestat, or even further afield with connections. A route that begins in town, climbs through the vineyards, then into the mountains where two magnificent castles await you!

A short hike starting from a chapel and leading up to the ruins of a fortified castle. From the top of the keep, you can enjoy a panoramic view. The route mainly follows forest paths and, in places, vineyards.

Short hike from the car park of Saint-Sébastien Chapel on the heights of Dambach-la-Ville. The route takes you through the vineyards, the Kriegshurst crossroads and Berstein Castle; it can be done in either direction. Along the way, there are views of the vineyards, Dambach-la-Ville, the Alsace plain and the Black Forest, with benches and tables where you can take a break. An alternative route between the castle and the chapel takes you via the Kasmarkt crossroads.

A beautiful hike around the three castles (Bernstein, Ramstein and Ortenbourg) via the Brischbach valley and its magnificent views.

A lovely route through the foothills of the Vosges, passing through small Alsatian villages (Barr, Heiligenstein, Saint-Nabor) and returning via abbeys and castles in the forest.

A beautiful 14 km round trip hike via Landsberg Castle to Mont Sainte-Odile. Superb views of the Barr region, the Alsace plain and, in good weather, the Black Forest in Germany.
