An easy walk for families with young children. A very pleasant walk with varied terrain (woodland, stubble fields, etc.). You can vary the route from the suggested one by taking other paths. Stunning views of the Ballon d’Alsace, Grand Ballon and Rouge Gazon

3 farmhouse inns along the route
Please note that in the car park, you must park your vehicle in an authorised space, otherwise you risk a fine from the ‘Brigade Verte’ (20 cars were affected on the day of our walk).

Hello,

It’s a lovely walk with beautiful views over the plain, then the Grand Ballon and the Vosges, which can, of course, be done in a day.

There’s also the option of having a meal at the ThannerHubel farmhouse inn along the way: http://www.thannerhubel.fr/ (I’ve been there several times already – nothing to complain about).
