This hike starts in the valley and climbs into the forest, passing several viewpoints over the Alsace plain. The Brotsch Tower and three castles are worth visiting if you have time, as is the tower of the old Chappe telegraph.
The entire walk takes place in the forest. Beautiful sandstone and puddingstone rocks line the route.
