This picturesque tour will lead you in the footsteps of the Cistercian monks who settled in Sturzelbronn as early as the 12th century and left their mark on the village through their way of living their faith.

This tour, starting in a picturesque village, will lead you on the traces of the former Cistercian abbey of Sturzelbronn. After a largely forested section, the place called Bremendell allows a break halfway along the route (restaurant, campsite, wine cellar).

Sensitive areas

Along your trek, you will go through sensitive areas related to the presence of a specific species or environment. In these areas, an appropriate behaviour allows to contribute to their preservation. For detailed information, specific forms are accessible for each area.

A quiet zone is not a legally mandated area; rather, it refers to areas considered conducive to the activities of sensitive species that have a critical need for quiet (feeding, migration, reproduction, giving birth, raising young, hibernation, and seeking mates).

No. 1 I familiarize myself with quiet zones and the regulations
No. 2 I stay on marked trails
No. 3 I respect the silence of nature
No. 4 I keep my pet on a leash
No. 5 I prioritize daytime activities

The “Quiétude Attitude” program raises public awareness about the best practices to follow in natural environments to preserve the tranquility of animal species.
