Walks and hikes

In the heart of the Northern Vosges Regional Nature Park, Eguelshardt is surrounded by forests, sandstone rocks and ponds. The trails below are waymarked and maintained by the Club Vosgien. They all start from the Étang de Hanau, about 3 km from the village, at the foot of Waldeck Castle.

For each route you will find the distance, the climb, an indicative time, a map and the track to download to your phone or GPS.

Long-distance trails

Several long-distance hiking trails also cross the area: the GR 532 (Mulhouse – Soultz-sous-Forêts), the Maginot Line Trail and the cross-border Tres Tabernae trail.

Good to know

• Some of the trails cross the Rocks and Peat Bogs of the Pays de Bitche nature reserve: please stay on the paths and respect the wildlife and plants.
• During the hunting season, driven hunts take place on certain days (see the municipal newsletters): check before setting out and respect the signs.
• Wear good shoes, bring water, and always follow the waymarks on the ground.
