Wanderungen und Radtouren im Elsass (und am Kaiserstuhl)

Dopo diversi tentativi finalmente siamo arrivati in Alsazia. Andiamo da Colmar a Niedermorschwihr in taxi e Sandrine, la nostra autista, ci racconta di Dio e del mondo e di Madame Ferber, che vende le marmellate che produce qui anche fino a Parigi, e del ristorante Morakopf, dove si mangia benissimo… leggi altro

La sera abbiamo mangiato davvero bene all'Hotel La Rochette a Labaroche e buono è stato anche il picnic che i locandieri ci hanno preparato per l'escursione di oggi. Solo il caffè a colazione si rivela un disastro terribile. Dopotutto: c'è caffeina dentro e ci svegliamo.



Il tempo è di nuovo bello e ci… leggi altro

Oggi sono in programma due laghi artificiali, una vetta molto contesa durante la Prima Guerra Mondiale, un comprensorio sciistico, alcuni prati alpini e molti boschi. E ovviamente tanto dislivello in salita e in discesa, tranne alcuni tratti interamente su sentieri ghiaiosi, ghiaiosi e rocciosi.



L'escursione… leggi altro

Oggi avremo la stessa vista e panorama di tutti i giorni di escursioni precedenti messi insieme. Oggi i sentieri sono per lo più molto semplici e spesso ci portano lungo ampie strade forestali, che in inverno vengono preparate come piste da sci di fondo, o piccole strade asfaltate che collegano le case… leggi altro

Il nostro ultimo giorno di escursioni ci porta dalle montagne dei Vosgi fino alla valle del Reno. Raggiungiamo prima Freland su strette strade asfaltate e poi risaliamo nel bosco. Possiamo passeggiare in tutta tranquillità su semplici sentieri forestali. Solo brevi tratti si snodano su ripidi sentieri… leggi altro

Cycle tour from Kientzheim via Selestat to Ottrott. The tour went at 32 degrees in the shade mainly by the shadowless Ried.

Again a very nice hike with rest in the Auberge St. Alexis.

Ribeauville is one of the picture book locations of Alsace. A picturesque old town and three castles in the immediate vicinity attract the visitors in torrents. US as well. The city we found very worth seeing and the walk was just nice.

Very nice bike ride over Riquewihr to Ribeauvillé, our next hiking tour. However, it is sometimes so steep uphill that pushing is necessary.

Riquewihr is really beautiful and not overrun early in the morning.

In Ribeauvillé we have made a walk to the three castles: komoot.de/tour/20164134

Second impression of Alsace. Very nice hike through vineyards and forest. In the places along the way so little tourism that there is not even a wine bar.

Bike tour from Riegel am Kaiserstuhl to Kientzheim in Alsace. The bike paths are very good. Over the Rhine, however, the route is routed to a relatively busy federal highway, because no alternatives are possible.

First impression of Alsace.

Nice round in the best weather.

Nice round through vineyards and beech forests.

Wissembourg is located on the German-French border and we liked it very much. The place is still partly enclosed by remnants of the old city fortification and the old town is really worth seeing without having adopted the Disneycharakter, which one finds in many other cities of the Alsace.

Bike ride to the station of Strasbourg. The bike paths from Ottrott to Strasbourg are very good. After leaving the vineyards around Ottrott and Obernai, you drive through corn and corn fields. The closer you get to Strasbourg, the more the landscape and settlement change. About ten kilometers before… leggi altro

Thursdays is a big weekly market in Obernai. A reason for a hike there. The way goes along the Ehn, which is accompanied almost all the way through loose deciduous forest. The way back via Boersch leads through vineyards and agricultural hilly area. Very beautiful.

Eating out: Restaurant Le Schtampfel in Boersch.

Mont St Odile is a popular destination in Alsace. Rightly so. Nevertheless, we hardly saw any other people on the hike there. Although landscape and paths are very beautiful.

For example, you almost inevitably encounter the heathen wall on the hike.

It is often referred to as the most important protohistoric… leggi altro

We take our time and head for one of the many "balloons" in the Vosges. The small detour is worthwhile, because the view from the balloon d'Alsace is fantastic in every direction. There are many visitors and hikers there, but the terrain is extensive and therefore everyone will find undisturbed enjoyment of nature.
