Oderen walks

From Oderen, a magnificent climb to Trehkopf, a paradise for paragliders, passing by the viewpoints of Uhufels and Gommkopf over the valley and the surrounding Vosges peaks, via the Treackerké shelter and the old Trehkopf cemetery, following pleasant paths mostly through the forest. After enjoying the ridges of Trehkopf and Jungfrauenkopf and a 360° view, the return journey will take you via the Treh farmhouse inn, Sainte-Anne Chapel, the Schalm shelter, the Katzensteg viewpoint and the Hensbach woods.

The Drumont is one of the iconic peaks of the Vosges. Although much less well known than the Grand Ballon or the Ballon d'Alsace, it is an ideal spot for lovers of 360° panoramic views. The area is very popular with paragliders. This hike takes you up the Drumont from the Tourbière du See, which is home to a rich natural heritage. The outward journey follows the most direct route and the return journey takes you via the waterfalls and the Saint-Nicolas Chapel. To finish the hike, there are two small hills to climb, which offer views of the Thur valley.

This walk takes you back to the time of the glaciers and the pastoralism of our ancestors.

The first half of the route, up to (5), is wooded, which is pleasant in hot weather. The second part, however, follows theGR®5in open country. There are no major difficulties, except perhaps the slightly steep climb to the Col d'Oberlauchen. There are beautiful views during this hike, particularly at the Col d'Oberlauchen, then all along theGR®5and at the summit of the Trehkopft.

Straddling the Haut-Rhin and the Vosges (or Alsace and Lorraine), come and discover this original hike starting from the Col d'Oderen. The fairly steep start is compensated for by the landscapes and superb panoramic views from the Tête de Fellering, as well as the Drumont orientation table.

A pleasant circular route suitable for families or groups with inexperienced walkers and/or children. Numerous opportunities for breaks and stunning views over the Mitzach and Saint-Amarin valleys. You can shorten the walk by taking "shortcuts" to the valley at the end of the route and change the direction of the circular route by starting from Saint-Amarin and taking theGR®532(Yellow Rectangle) and/or following the "vita" route. However, this direction will be a little more "challenging" for those who are less physically fit.

This short family hike takes you up to the ruins of Wildenstein Castle along a discovery trail dotted with information panels. On the way back down, you can walk around the lake and, once you arrive, enjoy the peaceful surroundings with a trip on a pedalo or, for the more energetic, a walk among the trees in the tree-top adventure park right next to the car park.
