Hohengœft walks
Route of the three chapels
This route, marked by the Club Vosgien with a red ring, gives (too) much prominence to carriageways and sections of road, making it ideal for groups. Sometimes very stony, especially in the southern sector of Hohengoeft, it requires good footwear. It offers beautiful panoramic views and is a lovely walk to do in the off-season or when the temperature is not too high, as it is almost exclusively in the open.
On the heights of Hohengoeft, Wasselone and Marlenheim
A short, easy walk offering beautiful views of the Vosges, the Alsace plain and the Kochersberg. Can be shortened to 6 or 8 km without difficulty.
Circuit on the heights of Marlenheim - Wasselonne around Stephansberg
Short loop on the heights of Marlenheim around Stephansberg, passing through Wasselonne.
Views of Marlenheim, Scharrach and Wasselonne.
Passage through Les Roches near Altenberg, where there are opportunities for rock climbing.
Short tour of Marlenberg
Come and discover the vineyards, forest and meadows of Marlenberg.
A pleasant hike in the hills above Marlenheim, the northern gateway to the Alsace Wine Route.
The chapel in Himmolsheim
Most of this route takes place on farm tracks in the middle of fields. You will have views of several surrounding villages: Fessenheim-le-Bas, Kuttolsheim, Quatzenheim and Dossenheim-Kochersberg. You can also see the chapel of Himmolsheim, which was a small hamlet of about ten houses. This 12th-century chapel is also known as the Chapel of Saint Margaret.
The vineyards of Westhoffen and Wangen
A very pretty little hike with splendid views of the vineyards and orchards of Westhoffen and Wangen.
Best done in spring, when the fruit trees are in bloom, or in autumn, when the vineyards are changing colour.
Mencke Rock and Waterfall, Heidenschloss, Rotfels
Come and discover the improvements made by Otto Mencke at the end of the 19th century on the outskirts of Romanswiller: the small diversion canal from the Ziegbach which feeds a waterfall cascading from a rock. Then climb up to Heidenschloss to enjoy a beautiful view of the Mossig valley and continue on to Rotfels where you will see Wangenbourg Castle through the trees.
Circuit around the Scharrach
Circuit for visiting Scharrach Hill, combining cycle paths and vineyard trails. Visit the ruins of the blockhouse at the highest point of Scharrach.
Numerous viewpoints over the vineyards, the Vosges mountains and the neighbouring villages.
Distant view of Strasbourg and its cathedral (for those with good eyesight).
Tour of the Tannenwald and Moulin de Champagne starting from Marmoutier
This route starting from Marmoutier takes you on a circular route through the Tannenwald Forest. It is not particularly difficult, with fairly gentle slopes. The hike passes through Moulin de Champagne and Buchberg, among other places.
Bacchus Route Le Loejele
This route takes you through the vineyards of Alsace's "Suisse d'Alsace" region, along the Alsace Wine Route, passing through villages near Balbronn. Winegrowers line the route, offering visitors the chance to stop for a quick tour of their cellars and, why not, a tasting.
The Loejele is a wooden barrel used to carry drinks to the fields, vineyards and forests.
A third of the hike is on tracks or tarmac roads.
Soulz-les-Bains - the Casemate Trail
If you are looking for a varied hike alternating between wide panoramic views from a ridge and a valley with meadows, undergrowth and vineyards, you will not be disappointed. There is also a touch of local history linked to the most important German fortification of the late 19th century.
Vitaboucle route 32: Around Osthoffen
A short walk in the sunshine between fields and vineyards around the village of Osthoffen. Some nice views, such as the vineyards of Scharrachbergheim-Irmstett slightly higher up, or Strasbourg cathedral in the distance.
Route of chapels in Wolxheim and Avolsheim
A charming walk through the vineyards around Wolxheim and Avolsheim. Along this route, you can discover magnificent little chapels and pilgrimage sites: Notre-Dame d'Altbronn, the statue of the Sacred Heart, Saint-Denis, Saint-Ulrich, Dompeter and Saint-Armuth.
Saverne / Strasbourg circular
A hundred-kilometre circular starting from Saverne, passing along the old Saverne–Romanwiller–Molsheim railway line, then following the Bruche Canal to Strasbourg, before returning via the Marne-Rhine Canal.
Château de Greifenstein and Grotte Saint-Vit from Saverne
Discover the Château de Greifenstein, where two beautiful towers can still be seen.
Visit the Grotte Saint-Vit, a vast natural excavation in sandstone, overlooking a plateau where a magnificent alpine garden has been laid out. An astonishing view of the Château de Hohbarr awaits you!
