Description

Do you love the volcanic landscape of the Kaiserstuhl and are prepared to take small detours to get there? Then the Hoopoe Trail is tailor-made for you! It leads to old hilltops as remnants of the eroded, recent lava flows; you can enjoy wonderful views of the Vosges Mountains as well as insights into a partly Mediterranean flora and fauna and fascinating arms of the Old Rhine!

Author's recommendation

Discover the Winklerberg, which is scorching hot in summer, with its succulent volcanic rock garden! Let yourself be surprised by the forgotten fishing and castle history in Burkheim, Jechtingen and Sasbach and enchanted by the latest eruption events on the historic Limberg!

Equipment

Sturdy shoes, provisions with enough to drink and clothing suitable for the weather, such as sun or cold protection.
