Long distance trail

the big tour of the valley - Stage 2

  • 6h

  • Expert

This new day takes place between Labaroche and Orbey, two villages anchored in the mountains. Their natural surroundings offer many unsuspected sights.

First, we head for the Grand and Petit Hohnack peaks. On the former, you'll see many unusual stones, and if you're curious, you might even find the stones known locally as "fairy vats" or Hexenkessel. The second takes you back to the Middle Ages with its 12th-century medieval castle. Not only will it tell you all about its history, it will also offer you a marvellous viewpoint.

Then it's on to Orbey. Countryside, rivers and forests follow one another.

Prepare to be amazed when you reach the last spot of the day: the Faudé tower. Like all maritime destinations, we have our lighthouse. An emblematic figure of the destination, this tower will give you a bird's-eye view of your new progress and the distance separating you from the lakes, your next exploration.

A route that's sure to enchant you!
