Saturday (10th of December): FOUR CASTLES HIKE, NOTHWEILER, GERMANY/FRANCE BORDER
This hike can be described as a classic in the southern Pfälzerwald. Combined with moderate gradients, four interesting castle ruins. The route takes you back and forth between Germany and France. Beautiful views, mighty rock towers and shady forests make this hike an experience. At the end of the hike, we will take you to the city of Colmar.
Length of the walk – 11 kms
Level of difficulty – Easy to Medium
Total Elevation – 340 m
Sunday (11th of December): FOUR LAKES HIKE, SOULTZEREN, FRANCE
‘Tour des quatre lacs’ is very beautiful hike in the middle of the low mountain range ‘Vosges’ in France. As the name suggests it goes past 4 different lakes: ‘lac noir’ (black lake), ‘lac blanc’ (white lake), ‘lac vert’ (green lake) and ‘lac du Forlet’. While the names of the lakes might seem very monotonous, the hike itself is the exact opposite. A combination of thick forest, mountain trails and even a straight run on a beautiful high plateau makes this a long but definitely interesting hike with nice variation of scenery.
Length of the walk – 14 kms
Level of difficulty – Medium
Total Elevation – 470 m
