Ferme auberge du Treh walks

From Oderen, a magnificent climb to Trehkopf, a paradise for paragliders, passing by the viewpoints of Uhufels and Gommkopf over the valley and the surrounding Vosges peaks, via the Treackerké shelter and the old Trehkopf cemetery, following pleasant paths mostly through the forest. After enjoying the ridges of Trehkopf and Jungfrauenkopf and a 360° view, the return journey will take you via the Treh farmhouse inn, Sainte-Anne Chapel, the Schalm shelter, the Katzensteg viewpoint and the Hensbach woods.

Head for the Route des Crêtes and the Le Treh farmhouse inn! Get your calves ready for the long climb you’ll face to reach the summit at an altitude of 1,139 metres. The traditional cheese-maker’s meal awaiting you there is well worth the effort. Le Treh is open every day except Mondays and Tuesdays.

Starting from the first car park at the entrance to the Markstein resort, in the triangle formed by the D430, D731 and Route des Crêtes (closed in winter), the route follows forest trails and paths. Part of the route runs alongside ski slopes and crosses beautiful wooded areas.You will pass above the Markstein farmhouse inn, visible below. The trail then continues through a pleasant coniferous forest before reaching the Treh farmhouse inn, an iconic landmark in the area.From this inn, the climb becomes steeper towards Trehkopf. The ascent, short but dynamic, leads to an altitude of over 1,200 metres. At the summit, your efforts are richly rewarded with a generous panorama of the Vosges mountains. On a clear day, the view extends even further, revealing the Alps on the horizon.
