Does your heart swing between vineyards and forests? This tour is for you. Above Katzenthal, walk through both vineyards and woods. First, reach the Sommerberg, a locality facing south at an altitude of 400m where the Grand Cru of the same name flourishes. Walk along the ridge and enjoy a magnificent view of Niedermorschwihr and its famous twisted bell tower, unique in the region. After this sunbathing, go to the cool undergrowth animated by birdsong. The show continues on the last part of the circuit with a fabulous view of Katzentahl dominated by the Wineck castle. This very easy hike is sure to please!
