The fauna and flora of the Undivided Forest of Haguenau are rich and varied. However, the subsoil also contains a raw material that man has been able to exploit since the dawn of time: clay. Let's discover together the clay pit from which the potters of Soufflenheim extract the clay that will be used to shape the famous Kougelhopf molds and other Baeckeoffe terrines.
New for 2025: Leave with a clay cake from which you can shape a unique souvenir with your hands, inspired by this walk.

3,5 km on flat forest road. Count 2h to 2h30 of walk including stops for explanations.
Conditions: footwear and clothing suitable for hiking in the forest. Closed pants and shoes are highly recommended. The tour may be canceled in case of bad weather conditions.
Limited to 20 people. Closing of registrations the day before at 17 p.m.
