Εύκολες πεζοπορίες και περίπατοι στο Γκραντ Εστ

Starting point of our 5-pass loop towards Bitche

Hiking from the balloon over the mountain ridge through the High Vosges promises wonderful solitude and panoramic views.

Great view of the loop

The old town is enormous. It's best to take a ride on the Petit Train Touristique (the green train for sightseeing tours) and then walk to wherever you like best. You can also take a 25-minute boat ride from "Little Venice"—no, not a gondola, but one with a quiet electric motor.

The market hall is also located here, and a visit to it is an absolute must.

After the French Revolution, it briefly served as the cathedral of a diocese and is sometimes still referred to as Cathédrale Saint-Martin. Today it serves as a parish church.

Of course, like every day, it's completely crowded. Taking pictures without passersby is almost impossible. The old town captivates everyone, and you can hardly get enough of the colorful, crooked houses, some of which date back to the Middle Ages but have been beautifully restored.

Colmar is a beautiful city and a center of Alsace; unfortunately, it's correspondingly overcrowded. The local art museum is a must-see.
