The vantage point is the only bench with a table directly on the Sentier des Roches.
The pass road or the view of the valley is worth a break.

Notre-Dame des Chaumes Chapel

Highlight • Other

The Notre-Dame-des-Chaumes chapel is a contemporary Catholic church. Instead of a stained glass window, nature takes center stage thanks to the huge triangular windows in the ceiling.

Attention! The Sentier des Roches is closed from November to April due to wildlife restrictions. And it is also generally closed to dogs, with a €450 fine. It is not known whether anyone is monitoring it. We saw several dogs, and at the beginning of November there were whole hordes of people out and about

August 24, 2026,Col de la Schlucht - Sentier des Roches🇫🇷

We started our dreamlike tour directly at the hiking portal on the pass summit of the Col de la Schlucht. Directly opposite the hotel „Relais des Roches“, we followed the marking of the blue rectangle (GR 531) into the dense mountain forest. After just the first few meters, the path narrowed, and we felt the alpine character of this trail. …

Another beautiful hike that shows Alsace at its best. This time only 1 mountain goat, but lying on a snow field. That gives a beautiful picture. Lots of green, flowers and mountain streams. Beautiful weather, wonderful walk.

If you want to test your level of fear of heights, this is the right place for you. Breathtaking foresight, sure-footedness is absolutely recommended. If you take your time and pay attention where you put your foot, the path is definitely doable despite its reputation. The risky passages are secured with handrails. A great path, the circular route as recorded …

Spectacularly beautiful hike on the Sentier des Roches. Certainly one of the most alpine routes in this area. Coming from Munster, the start of the trail is behind the first parking lot on the left. You should be sure-footed and wear sturdy shoes. Many exposed areas are secured with handrails. There are wonderful views time and again and the path …

You have to do this tour once. Rocky, stony, narrow, bridges, footbridges, stairs made of stone, great views, through a crack in the rock, etc. At the top then over a plateau, again with a great view, and stop at a farm. Well, if only there hadn't been so many people who came across the path about halfway through the …
