During this walk in the foothills of the Northern Vosges, come discover many orchards and vineyards punctuating the landscape!
The rich soils of hillsides and valleys allow the cultivation of vines and orchards. Thus one can find quetsches, mirabelles, apples, pears and other small fruits such as strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. The villages crossed, flowery, allow to see there characteristic houses of the piedmont, with half-timberings and with a semi-buried cellar allowing the conservation of the wine. A small detour allows to admire a beautiful point of view from the monument of Geisberg.
