This bell with its unusual location is a call to respect nature. Set up as part of a school project, it recalls times gone by when technology had not yet invaded our daily lives and when people connected more with each other and nature.

The 'Tocsin de l'écologie' in Hagenbach is a striking work of art and symbol of environmental awareness, located along the canal at the towpath. This installation, reminiscent of a warning bell, calls for reflection on the impact of man on nature. For cyclists, it is a surprising and meaningful stop along the route, in the middle of the peaceful Alsatian landscape.
