Wintzenheim-Kochersberg walks

A lovely walk that allows us to discover the beautiful Alsatian countryside, starting from Nordheim and passing by Saint-Wendelin Chapel and the Goeftberg viewpoint.

A short, easy walk offering beautiful views of the Vosges, the Alsace plain and the Kochersberg. Can be shortened to 6 or 8 km without difficulty.

This route, marked by the Club Vosgien with a red ring, gives (too) much prominence to carriageways and sections of road, making it ideal for groups. Sometimes very stony, especially in the southern sector of Hohengoeft, it requires good footwear. It offers beautiful panoramic views and is a lovely walk to do in the off-season or when the temperature is not too high, as it is almost exclusively in the open.

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.

Short loop on the heights of Marlenheim around Stephansberg, passing through Wasselonne. Views of Marlenheim, Scharrach and Wasselonne. Passage through Les Roches near Altenberg, where there are opportunities for rock climbing.

At the start of the Alsace Wine Route, discover the charm of the town of Marlenheim and the typical villages that surround it. A lovely ride that allows you to admire the Alsatian vineyards whilst staying mainly in the villages near the cellars and, why not, enjoy an impromptu wine tasting along the way! The name of the route, “Riewerle”, comes from a special tap used to draw a sample for tasting the wine.

Come and discover the vineyards, forest and meadows of Marlenberg. A pleasant hike in the hills above Marlenheim, the northern gateway to the Alsace Wine Route.

Departure from Arthur Metz in Marlenheim. (Follow the Anneau Rouge route from the foot of the vineyards). A short climb through the vineyards, then through the forest towards Wasselonne. Cross the main road and join the climb towards the Wangen Forest. Descend through the vineyards towards the village and return via the cycle path in front of the Xavier Muller estate. Beautiful views of the forests, vineyards and Strasbourg in the distance.

Circuit for visiting Scharrach Hill, combining cycle paths and vineyard trails. Visit the ruins of the blockhouse at the highest point of Scharrach. Numerous viewpoints over the vineyards, the Vosges mountains and the neighbouring villages. Distant view of Strasbourg and its cathedral (for those with good eyesight).

The cherry capital seen in a different light!The elevation gain is by no means insurmountable, far from it, and yet the view of the village is surprising.

This walk takes you on a journey through the heart of the Alsatian vineyards. On the wine route, pass through vineyards and villages near Dahlenheim. Peace and nature are the hallmarks of this beautiful walk. Along the route, numerous wine cellars open their doors to you and invite you to taste the wines of our region. The name of the walk, "Rutscherle", comes from a small glass traditionally used for tastings.

A very pretty little hike with splendid views of the vineyards and orchards of Westhoffen and Wangen. Best done in spring, when the fruit trees are in bloom, or in autumn, when the vineyards are changing colour.

You will walk through the Westhoffen vineyards towards the top of the hill to reach the “Cherry Conservation Orchard”. Here you can discover the different varieties of cherry trees found in the region. The walk continues past the Westhoffen Dog Club and then on towards the Geisweg Rest Stop. Don’t miss the “Sequoia” before heading back down towards Westhoffen.

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.

This route takes you through the vineyards of Alsace's "Suisse d'Alsace" region, along the Alsace Wine Route, passing through villages near Balbronn. Winegrowers line the route, offering visitors the chance to stop for a quick tour of their cellars and, why not, a tasting. The Loejele is a wooden barrel used to carry drinks to the fields, vineyards and forests. A third of the hike is on tracks or tarmac roads.

If you are looking for a varied hike alternating between wide panoramic views from a ridge and a valley with meadows, undergrowth and vineyards, you will not be disappointed. There is also a touch of local history linked to the most important German fortification of the late 19th century.

A charming walk through the vineyards around Wolxheim and Avolsheim. Along this route, you can discover magnificent little chapels and pilgrimage sites: Notre-Dame d'Altbronn, the statue of the Sacred Heart, Saint-Denis, Saint-Ulrich, Dompeter and Saint-Armuth.

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

Here is a route starting from the football stadium in Schwindratzheim, continuing to the Waltenheim bridge before following the Marne-Rhine Canal back to the Schwindratzheim bridge once more.
