Breitenau

In the heart of the Vallée de Villé, Breitenau is an ideal destination for nature lovers and lovers of the great outdoors. Surrounded by wooded hills and unspoilt countryside, this Alsatian village offers an authentic setting for discovery and escape through the seasons. Nature is omnipresent here, inviting you to take a hike as soon as you leave the village. Breitenau is an ideal starting point for many of the trails that criss-cross the surrounding mountains. Among them, the famous "Circuit des roches" offers a spectacular immersion into a landscape shaped by time, with sandstone cliffs, rock formations and panoramic views over the valley. Accessible and varied, the route takes in emblematic sites such as the Roche des Fées, the Roche du Cheval tombé and the Rondes Roches, natural curiosities that punctuate the walk and offer remarkable viewpoints.


Along the way, hikers will also come across a discreet heritage steeped in history. Nestled in the heart of nature, the Saint-Dié chapel invites you to take a peaceful break in a forest setting. It perpetuates the memory of Saint Déodat, who crossed the valley several centuries ago, adding a spiritual and historical dimension to the discovery of the area.
