In this blog post, I give you my ideas for hikes of all levels and durations to discover the Alsatian Jura! The Alsatian Jura, really?

How about a cycling tour of the Ried? The Ried is the plain of Alsace, between the Vosges on one side and the Rhine on the other.

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 […]
