Discover the Haguenau forest
A true source of pride for our region, the Haguenau forest is an integral part of the lives of its inhabitants. This green haven of over 13,000 hectares, on the verge of obtaining the Forêt d'Exception® label , offers numerous opportunities for walks alone or in groups during guided tours, including a path accessible to people with reduced mobility (and strollers!).
And for athletes, several fitness trails are also available free of charge to work out in the great outdoors!
Hiking between plain and forest
Want to explore the rest of the region on foot? The Vosges Clubs of Haguenau-Lembach and Val de Moder offer several hiking routes , suitable for all levels, in the area around Bischwiller and Val de Moder. The Rando-Loisirs Barberousse association also regularly organizes group outings.
Cycling the territory
Thanks to its many dedicated routes and extensive network of cycle paths , the Haguenau region is ideally suited for exploring by bike, easily and safely. The numerous connections between Haguenau and the surrounding towns will allow you to reach most of our tourist attractions while enjoying a ride in the fresh air!
Picnic at Gros-Chêne
Looking for a quieter moment? The Gros-Chêne site is the perfect meeting place for families who come for a picnic or a relaxing afternoon around the playground . It's not uncommon to find dozens of people there as soon as the sun comes out. Take the opportunity to also discover the Saint-Arbogast chapel, whose legend is displayed on its walls, and the unmissable Gloria Friedmann oak monument.
