After testing the I went this time to SensoRied, the barefoot trail located in Muttersholtz, in the Alsatian Ried (the plain). SensoRied has the great advantage of being free of charge, which makes it a great activity to visit Alsace on a budgetwith your family.
I’m not a big fan of barefoot trails (my feet hurt quickly!), but I was really pleasantly surprised by this trail, which I found very pleasant, even for my sensitive feet! You can walk the 1.5 km of the trail at your own pace, going from one step to the other while admiring the landscapes of this Natura 2000 site. Beyond the sensory experience (walking in mud, pebbles, on a dirt road…), I appreciated the explanations given on the fauna, flora, history and landscapes of the Ried. We learn a lot about this part of Alsace often rather unknown (wrongly).
After about 1 hour of discovery, it is time to wash your feet with the help of the hoses provided before leaving. This is a great activity to spend time with family and friends (yes, it’s not just for kids!).
I liked

- Interesting explanations about the Ried

I liked less
