Top 16 Natural Monuments around Burscheid

Under the very rock, which forms a rock shelter, lived for a long time the hermit known as "the Falkenfels", from 1895 until his death in 1902. There is no certainty about the origins of Edouard Hinbeer, nicknamed friendly by the population and in the archives the Waldbruder (brother of the forest). A valiant man, he looked after the pigs of the commune of Hellert. The population esteemed him, considered him a holy man and took turns bringing him their midday meals.

Near Saverne lies this very mysterious place. Its name is based on a legend according to which the prince's horse leaped over the cliffs, leaving horseshoe-shaped imprints in the rock.

The Rocher du Chalice, located not far from the Plan Incliné in the charming town of Saint-Louis, is a natural spectacle not to be missed. Nestled in the middle of the forest, this fascinating rock is a living witness to the natural erosion that has shaped the territory over the years. Its particular shape invites visitors to give free rein to their imagination, discovering various shapes, animals, faces and engravings sculpted by natural elements. To discover it, a walk is essential. From the Luge du Plan Incliné car park, follow the yellow dot markings for a distance of 1.2 km towards the Rocher du Chalice. The approach is via a path then a steep path, offering a little adventure before even reaching the rock. And the exploration doesn't stop there. You can extend your hike through several unusual underground passages, then via the Vallée des Éclusiers and Hofmuhl, before returning to the starting point, for a total circuit of 11.4 km.

Here you can find 2 former rock houses. Also a bench with a table for a picnic. There is an information board in French at the entrance. It's about 15 minutes from the parking lot. We did a little circular walk.
