This hut/shelter was perfect for us (2p) to spend the night. It has a little river next to it were you can wash your clothes (its not big enough to go bathing). Very open space. Around 8 in the morning, some people arrived. Until eleven, the place was full with some nice locals and a family of five. So if you stayll in the summer, dont stay too long it is a „popular“ spot. Accessible with which means anyone can go there fast.

Located 25 km southwest of Strasbourg, Obernai, with its numerous attractions, rises on the banks of the Ehn River, which is why it was formerly known as Ehnheim. The Ehn is a 36-kilometer-long left tributary of the Ill River in the French department of Bas-Rhin in the Grand Est region.

The Giants' Rock, perched on the foothills of Mont Sainte-Odile, offers a spectacular view of the forests and valleys of Alsace. This mystical site, surrounded by legends, is accessible after a beautiful mountain bike ride through the wooded trails. The panorama from the rock reveals grandiose landscapes, with steep cliffs, dense forests and, on a clear day, a clear view of the Alsatian plain.
