Description by the author

The Route
The itinerary offers a hike in Alsace Bossue, a geographical "incursion" of Alsace into the Lorraine plateau. The journey begins in Diemeringen, a vibrant rural village, and allows for a quick connection to Lorentzen, home to the Grange aux paysages located on the site of the charming village plain castle, which houses a beautiful and spacious wooden educational space dedicated to the wildlife, flora, and landscapes of Alsace Bossue. The route then provides an opportunity to understand the ancient past of the territory through the Gallo-Roman villa of Gurtelbach in Dehlingen, whose ruins have been refurbished for public access, and the well-conceived museum "La Villa." After a pleasant foray into the forest, the route joins the EuroVelo5 - Via Romea along the peaceful and bucolic towpaths of the Saar canal bike route up to Harskirchen and its small marina. From there, the cyclist continues to Sarre-Union, Sarrewerden, and the Saar valley. Note that the Saar, still quite wild, can be explored during an unforgettable flat-bottomed boat trip in Sarrewerden in the summer. The orchard landscapes are characteristic of the territory and are interconnected, offering magnificent panoramas. Two more stops are planned at Berg on the site of Kirchberg and its white chapel built on a beautiful hill, and at Drulingen, which features one of the two bike-rail routes in Alsace. The route then returns to the green valley of Eichel in Asswiller until the starting point.
