Alsace Region
France most pictoresque region
About the Alsace Region
Just a jump across the Rhine – and much of it still feels familiar and yet, different and foreign. In the Alsace region, it is said that German “Gemütlichkeit“ mixes with French Savoir-vivre in a very unique and typical Alsatian attitude toward life which the visitors can easily participate in. And not only for this reason Alsace is such a beautiful travel destination , not only for this reason but also as it is a very special part of France and Europe that has something to offer for everybody.

Tour options
ALSACE NATURE TOUR –
TWO BEAUTIES in ONE,
FULL-DAY TOUR version
Most people never hike along the wine route and that’s really too bad.This tour is a „great combo“ of two of the most prestigious wine villages in Alsace region. Join me on a comfortable 8-mile hike from one village (Riquewihr) to the other (Kaysersberg). Let‘s have a relaxing and refreshing stop at “Chez Alex“: a local tiny restaurant in the woods with delicious regional food specialties.
Riquewihr, being the perl of the Alsace region and Kaysersberg, being the birth place of the world-renowned Dr. Albert Schweizer will impress you with their overflowing historical heritage and beauty.
This tour is designed as a full-day tour to dive into Alsatian nature, culture and traditions. Very pictoresque and full of local treasures to excite you.
Wine tasting possible upon request.
Moderate 3–4 hour hike – hiking gear requested.
STRASBOURG CITY –
A CITY HIKE,
Full-day tour version
Ever done a city hike? Well, here you are. Join me me on this active 5-mile tour all over Strasbourg. We’ll check out the European district, getting up close to the famous orangerie and its stork sanctuary and then unwind in the most romantic district of “La PETIT FRANCE“. You can enjoy plenty of freetime afterwards with a typical food specialty like the famous local “choucroute“ (=Alsatian sauerkraut) or the well-known “tarte flambée“ (a kind of an Alsatian pizza.) Or, why not take a wonderful boat ride later in one of the famous so-called “bateaurama“ boats around town.
This tour is designed as a full-day tour but can be shortened to a half-day tour, if started in Strasbourg directly.
About 3 hours of walking time in a slightly faster pace – good and comfortable walking shoes requested.
