Mittelhausbergen walks

A short walk in the Hausbergen hills, very close to Strasbourg. The start of the countryside on the outskirts of Strasbourg.

A route on the outskirts of Strasbourg that allows you to get some fresh air in the nearby villages and their rural and bucolic surroundings. Ideal for a short outing, it is also accessible by bus from the centre of the Eurometropolis.

Stroll through the historic centre of Strasbourg and discover twelve cul-de-sacs, which are unusual and little-known corners of the Alsatian capital. The route takes you through the alleys and streets of the Grande Île, from Rue de la Nuée-Bleue to Ponts-Couverts, via Place Broglie, the cathedral, the banks of the Ill and La Petite France. An original way to see the city from a different perspective. As for the cul-de-sacs, they "at least lead you to turn around", according to writer Sylvain Tesson...

Starting from Strasbourg, explore the peaceful banks of the Ill and observe its wildlife. Follow the dark waters of the mysterious Schwarzwasser as it winds its way through the heart of the Neuhof Forest. Finally, criss-cross the paths of the Rhine Tortu, which undulate to the gates of the city. Between water and forest, set your sights on unspoilt, peaceful nature, yet so close to the hustle and bustle of the city.

In the historic heart of Strasbourg, take a stroll along the Ill and its many branches to discover a unique heritage!

Semi-urban walk along the Ill, between allotments, forests and former gravel pits.

A beautiful bike ride of nearly 30 km starting from the Stade de la Meinau in Strasbourg. It will take you through the Neuhof forest, up along the Canal d'Alsace on the French side, then back along the German bank, following the Old Rhine to the Jardin des Deux Rives, which straddles the Rhine and the border between Strasbourg and Kehl. The route favours cycle paths and trails that are closed to vehicles.

A lovely family walk around the village of Hangenbieten. The route gives you an overview of the village and the banks of the Bruche. If the weather is clear, you will have a panoramic view of the Black Forest as far as Obernai.

A short walk starting at the entrance to Hangebieten. This circular walk through the fields is ideal for families but is not suitable for pushchairs due to the uneven terrain. Best avoided during very hot weather as it is very exposed to the sun. Please note: a path appears to have disappeared after (4), see reviews

A short family walk around the village of Kolbsheim. The route mainly passes through the meadows and fields around the village.

A 5km circular through the Illkirch forest, ideal for Nordic walking as it only takes a few metres of tarmac road.

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.

This is a short, unpretentious circular route through fields and built-up areas. The route runs alongside the Strasbourg-Entzheim airport runway, as well as a small section of the Bruche river and the Strasbourg-Molsheim railway line.

In the Wantzenau forest, along the Waldrhein, then along the Ill via the heron trail, you can observe herons, egrets, swans, ducks and wild geese at your leisure.

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.

Walk in the Wantzenau forest, including a large part of the heron trail. A very pleasant route through fields and forests, but be careful on hot days.

A short trip to the Nature Reserve on Rohrschollen Island at the gates of Strasbourg. A little-known getaway full of discoveries. Please note that dogs are strictly prohibited in the reserve, even on a leash. (5) June 2021: the city of Strasbourg has installed five rustic Highland Cattle cows on the island to clear the undergrowth beneath the power lines.

An 8 km hike on flat terrain. The route passes through parts of villages (Eschau, Ohnheim, Fegersheim), follows streams through fields, crosses a grove and runs alongside a pond.

A bucolic walk in the cool shade of the forest, along the water; ideal in hot weather.

This is a variation on route -1-, slightly longer and slightly less shaded.

A country circuit through forests, villages, fields and rivers.

Welcome to Altorf for a walk through forests, fields and villages, discovering ancient boundary stones (from the 16th to the 18th centuries). This 6 km route is ideal for a family walk. For very young children, the route can be shortened (simply ignore the optional points). There is even a playground on the route. Enjoy your walk!
