Moder (rivière) walks

A walk in the Northern Vosges forest around Zittersheim near Petite-Pierre in search of 12 springs. These are small springs or trickles of water. The best known is the Source de la Moder. I couldn't find springs 5 and 8. Either they aren't marked, they've dried up, or I got distracted. Feel free to add waypoints if you find them, if possible.

A lovely little walk in the Northern Vosges forest connecting Zittersheim to Wingen-sur-Moder. I fell in love with the forests of the Northern Vosges.

A lovely little hike starting from the beautiful village of Fort-Louis and continuing along the banks of the Rhine.

This hike, tested on 15/01/2022, takes us to the Pierre des Douze Apôtres (Breitenstein), marking the border between Alsace and Moselle. This stone dates back to the time of the Druids and was used for sacrifices before being gradually transformed by Christianisation. The hike follows forest paths through the forests of the Northern Vosges.

This pleasant hike offers a mosaic of landscapes and some of the most photogenic views in the area. Along the route, you will come across an old vineyard shelter. At Geiersberg, a Napoleonic bench made of Vosges sandstone allows you to enjoy the panorama at an altitude of 261 m: the Haguenau Forest and the Outre-Forêt are part of the scenery. From the heights of Morschwiller, you can look out over the Alsace plain, with views stretching from the Northern Vosges to the Black Forest.

From Uberach to the charming village of Mietesheim, through the undivided forest of Haguenau and along the Neubourg camp, this route will take you through majestic oak and beech trees and highlight the forest's military past and present.

This cycle route will take you through varied landscapes, between pine and oak trees, to discover some of the riches of the undivided forest of Haguenau. You will walk through the heart of this forest, which was awarded the Forêtd'Exception® label in January 2020, and along the way you can enjoy its lakes and be surprised by its legends and heritage.

Follow the Sandhaas through the town, fields and forest in the heart of the Moder Valley, between Haguenau and Schweighouse-sur-Moder. Sandhaas – sand hare – is the nickname given to the inhabitants of Haguenau when Alsace was under the authority of the German Empire, due to the large number of hares in this part of the region with its very sandy soil.

A pleasant walk combining the countryside east of Bischwiller and a pretty path along the Rotbaechel. This route allows you to discover various curiosities such as the boiler of an old steam engine and a wash house on the Rotbaechel.

On this urban and forest trail, starting from Schweighouse-sur-Moder, you will walk through the pine forests of the south-west of the undivided forest and cross the course of two rivers, the Zinsel du Nord and the Moder, several times.

Beautiful hike along the Moder from Kaltenhouse to Haguenau, with a tour of the town centre of Haguenau. Very pleasant in spring.

Head to Walbourg and the start of the GR®532 from the centre of Haguenau and set off to explore the heritage of the undivided forest along this trail, which is part of the Way of St James.

Rediscover the link between Haguenau and its forest: reach the undivided forest from the town centre via this urban, agricultural and forest trail, and discover the famous Oak Monument and some remarkable trees.
