Escape by bike through varied landscapes, between stands of pines and oaks, to discover some of the riches of the Haguenau forest. You will walk in the heart of this forest, labeled Forêt d'Exception® in 2020 and will be able, along the way, to enjoy its bodies of water and be surprised by its legend and its heritage: from the Gründel ponds to the observatory. ornithological, passing by the Gros Chêne, the Walbourg abbey and museum or the Hundshof washhouse, these are real gems of the forest that await you...

It is possible to reduce the distance of the route to 25 km by taking the second route between the Gründel ponds and the Gros Chêne via the Gründel forest road, the Bruch forest road and then the Rendel forest road.

Want to quench your thirst, have lunch? Take a gourmet detour to the restaurant de la Poste in Schwabwiller, located halfway through the route, or to the Auberge du Gros Chêne in the forest, both of which will offer you traditional Alsatian cuisine. Picnic tables are also available in Biblisheim, Surbourg and on the Gros Chêne site.

To extend your stay in the forest, you have the option of spending the night at the Gîte du Moulin in Schwabwiller.
