The Kaiserstuhl above Ihringen
Walk in the heart of the Kaiserstuhl. Small car park at the starting point. Walk with a few climbs through the vineyards, then after passing a pass, follow the ridge along a small forest before crossing it to come across a vineyard and its remarkable Mediterranean garden. Tasting possible. Return to the car park passing under the palm trees!

This nice circular walk mostly goes through woodlands and vineyards. Along the way, enjoy many views, including one at the top of a nice little tower. During the spring season, it's a nice spot for wild garlic.

Departure from Sasbach am Kaiserstuhl (Regierungsbezirk Freiburg)
This is an easy hike, best avoided in hot weather. The route passes through the many orchards around Sasbach, then the vineyards near Leiselheim and the giant chair (Stuhl) that marks a vineyard cru. The path mostly follows the yellow diamond markers.

Departure from Balgau (Haut-Rhin)
Although located along the Rhine and close to Fessenheim, the villages of Balgau and Nambsheim are anything but industrial. Between farms and housing estates with their carefully tended gardens, you can sense a little bit of Sundgau, nestled between the Vosges and the Black Forest.
