Stop in Ferrette to stop, visit its castle or stock up on supplies in its bakery. There is also a pond that offers a few moments of calm in a beautiful natural setting.

Saint Martin Chapel, known as Hippoltskirch

Highlight • Religious Site

First mentioned in 1144 and rebuilt in 1781, this remote chapel is tucked away in a valley near Sondersdorf. It was once a parish church and later a place of pilgrimage, with an unusual painted coffered ceiling and Gothic tabernacle.
