Rochers des Dames walks

A lovely circular walk starting from the Col de Saverne, passing by the Rocher du Faucon, the wildlife footbridge, the Rocher des Dames, the Chapelle Saint-Michel, the Chapelle Sainte-Barbe, the Rocher Gustave Orth and the Rocher du Sanglier.

There is also a Mont Saint-Michel in Alsace, located in Saint-Jean-Saverne. It offers beautiful views of the surrounding villages and is dotted with archaeological remains. The Saint-Michel Chapel stands on a promontory near the Rond des Sorcières, above the Grotte des Sorcières. This easy route takes you past the Schnackeplatz (Snail Square), a lay-by situated just above the LGV Est high-speed rail tunnel, where you might be lucky enough to see a TGV hurtling through it (around 15 minutes after it leaves Strasbourg). At Warthenberg Castle, perched on the Rocher Daubenschlag, you can marvel at a heart-shaped grove in the middle of the fields. From the Rocher des Dames, there is a bird’s-eye view of the A4 motorway at the Col de Saverne.
