Our ideas for filling up on nature

Looking to escape to the countryside? Besides its rich heritage and culture, the Haguenau region is also an ideal destination for nature lovers. Whether you're more athletic or prefer relaxing naps in the shade of an oak tree, you're sure to find something to enjoy!

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!

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.
