A lovely walk starting from Hohwald, heading towards the Source de l'Andlau via the Champ du Feu. Then a return route via the beautiful Cascade de l'Andlau and the Lindenhof, where a farmhouse inn offers refreshments. This walk is refreshing in summer; during the heat of the day, you will mostly walk in the shade and be accompanied at times by the murmur of the small stream flowing below.

In my opinion, this is the most beautiful route up to Champ du Feu from Hohwald, as it runs through the heart of the forest and there are no busy roads to cross. If you set off early, you might be lucky enough to spot some wildlife. The route passes by the old dairy farm, a peaceful and quiet spot, before descending via the magnificent Chaume des Veaux. Then, enjoy the stunning viewpoint at Breitenbach, where you might just see paragliders in flight. Finish your hike by returning via Grande Bellevue.

Hohwald is a bit like our own “Little Switzerland of Alsace”. A distinctly Swiss calm and a sense of tranquillity. The hike takes place mainly on forest roads, paths and trails (around 4 hours, excluding breaks), suitable for families, with lovely views of the village and some nearby peaks such as the Neuntelstein (970 m) and the Ungersberg (901 m). On a clear day, you can see the Haut-Koenigsbourg (757 m) and the Rocher du Coucou (856 m).

A very beautiful hike featuring two magnificent waterfalls (Andlau and Serva) and passing through Champ du Feu and Chaume des Veaux.The hike is accessible in all seasons. Most of it is in the forest, except for the section at the top of Champ du Feu. Magnificent in autumn and winter.I have rated the difficulty as "difficult" due to the elevation gain, but the hike does not present any technical difficulties.
