Rocher des Géants

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

After having reached the heights of Mont Saint-Odile, it is pleasant to run on its less steep paths. Between rocks, trees and atypical sculptures, the pleasure is all the greater when the view of the plain emerges.

Mount Sainte-Odile

Highlight • Settlement

Fantastic view. Historical and cultural highlight.
The monastery complex now also houses a hotel and a restaurant. The monastery can largely be visited freely and there are many corners to go 'into yourself'.
The place is widely known and popular, so it is usually well frequented.
