By Laurène

Here is an idea for a very nice outing with friends: a short walk to do at the end of the day in summer in order to go picnic and watch the sun set since the Small Balloon (actually, you can also do it at another time if you want, eh! But there is something […]

By Laurène

The Bastberg (Mont Saint-Sébastien in French) is a hill of the Pays de hanau located on the heights of Bouxwiller, whose summit culminates at 326m of altitude. Not very high, but enough to have a very nice view! We are here in the north of Alsace, in a region often neglected by tourists: it is […]

By Laurène

Here is a beautiful bicycle route, the BL 346 loop “La Sarre, between forests and orchards” and located in Alsace bossue. Have you ever heard of Alsace bossue?

Hike to the castles of Wangenbourg and Freudeneck
By Laurène

The Wangenbourg region is located 45km west of Strasbourg. It is a corner nicknamed “The little Switzerland of Alsace” because of its hilly and wooded landscapes as well as its scattered habitats.

By Vladimir

A few weeks ago, as part of my course to become a Guide Conférencier, I was asked to do a file on the Saint-Léger de Murbach abbey, located in the Guebwiller Valley, at the foot of the Grand Ballon. The name didn’t mean anything to me and I didn’t understand the tourist value of this […]
