This gentle, relaxed walking route runs in parallel with the
central part of the famous Route du Vin, where practically
every colourful village has its own vineyard and east-facing
ruined castle. There are countless opportunities to taste wines
along your way. The Alsatian vigneronsare so proud of what
they produce that they will insist you sample their whole range,
while everyone enjoys a good chat. We find them really
hospitable and welcoming.
The walks average three hours a day, taking you on sentiers
viticoles (paths via neatly-groomed vineyards) and along
pleasant forest tracks. And all along your way, you’ll find
exquisitely preserved villages, dominated from the heights by
their own feudal castles, usually only two or three kilometres
apart. Geraniums spill from window boxes and balconies, and
the half-timbered buildings can be plastered in pastel colours,
bright blue, apricot or red.
All our hotels are family-run and pride themselves on their
warm welcome. We arrange for you to have dinner at the hotel
or at a nearby restaurant.

Well organised with plenty of local information for the independent traveller.
