Vélorail Sud Alsace – Pedaling on a railroad track, we tested it!
By Charlotte Lampert

There’s an original activity to try out in Aspach-Michelbach: the Sud-Alsace velorail. I’d been wanting to try it for a long time, but never had the chance. When I heard that a velorail was opening near my home, I didn’t hesitate! My summary I liked I liked a little less A 2-hour walk There are […]

Walk to the Nideck waterfall and the castle ruins
By Laurène Philippot

The Cascade du Nideck is certainly the most famous waterfall in Alsace, and for good reason: at 25 metres, it’s the highest waterfall in Alsace! It took me a while to decide to go and see it, as I was a little afraid of the crowds and of being disappointed, but I actually really liked […]

Here is an unusual place that I am happy to have discovered near La Petite Pierre: the Zen temple Ryumon Ji of Weiterswiller, which means “temple of the dragon door of the old mountain”.

Bicycle tour “Beers and hops” in the Zorn region (25km)
By Laurène Philippot

Here’s a cycling loop in Alsace off the beaten track, allowing you to discover the Pays de la Zorn, northwest of Strasbourg and southwest of Haguenau. I suggest the local loop 227 of Alsace by bike, called “Bières et houblonnières”: a rather tempting program, isn’t it? The course is 25km long and has a 200m […]

Visit the Alsace-Moselle Memorial in Schirmeck
By Laurène Philippot

The Alsace-Moselle Memorial, located in Schirmeck in the Bruche Valley, is a museum that retraces the history of Alsace and Moselle from 1870 to the post-war period, with a particular focus on the Second World War (1939-1945). Put like that, it can seem boring but the museum is really well done and interesting. It is […]

This Alsatian hike takes in the sandstone rocks typical of the Northern Vosges, including the Rocher du Corbeau, the Rocher des Païens and the Rocher Blanc.
