Mundolsheim walks

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.

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

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...

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

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 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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

From Gambsheim to Kilstett, this beautiful walk alternates between fields, forest and riverside paths. An easy route, ideal for families.

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.

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.

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.
