One of us has a birthday today and wanted to go hiking together in beautiful Alsace. 🌸
A super varied circular tour from Kientzheim via Kaysersberg Castle with fantastic views and a full dose of Alsace in the picturesque wine-growing town of Kaysersberg, including a tarte flambée with Munster cheese and a glass of Pinot Gris.

From Camping Municipal Kaysersberg, where we are staying right now - to Chateaux Kaysersberg - along somewhat steep forest paths up up up through the forest - down through forest and vineyards to Kientzheim, a cozy little and quiet town - through vineyards back back through Kaysersberg to the campsite.

A lovely and warm trip in beautiful summer weather.
