Salbert Viewpoint – Fort Salbert loop from Belfort
🥾 Belfort to Fort de Salbert Circular 🥾
With temperatures soaring to a sweltering 36°C today, we set out on a circular walk from Belfort, climbing up to the historic Fort de Salbert. Built in the late 19th century as part of the defensive ring protecting Belfort, the fort sits…

From Le Markstein to Thann
🥾 HexaTrek Day 17 🥾
Le Markstein to Thann
Last night was a windy one! The tent rattled and flapped all night long, making for a noisy sleep, but at least we had a fantastic place to camp.
The campsite at Le Markstein was brilliant - wooden platforms with anchor…

Lac de Fischboedle to Le Markstein
A surprisingly warm and comfortable night in the tent last night! We fell asleep to birdsong and woke to the sound of leaves rustling in the trees.
The day started with a very rocky trail, which made for slow…

Lac Blanc to Lac de Fischboedle
What a difference a day makes! This was easily the best day on the trail so far.
We started with a short but steep climb out of Lac Blanc, which soon levelled out onto a wonderful plateau. It was…

🥾 HexaTrek Day 14 🥾
Aubure to Lac Blanc
After a rest day yesterday, I woke up feeling much stronger and far more motivated. Eight consecutive days of hiking had clearly taken its toll, and the break was exactly what I needed.
The weather couldn't have been better for walking:…

Ribeauvillé to Aubure
A shorter day today as we headed into our rest day. I'd pushed a little further yesterday to meet Lee in Ribeauvillé, so today's walk was just 6.5 miles, mostly through the forest, which was a welcome relief from the heat!
We…

Châtenois to Ribeauvillé
What a difference sunshine makes! After grey skies and rain, I had wall-to-wall sunshine today, and it lifted both my mood and my energy levels.
My foot was feeling much better this morning after a lot of massage, stretching and support bandaging…

Barr to Châtenois
Breakfast was a real treat this morning! The usual overnight oats, but topped with leftover vegan cream and chocolate pudding. Trail luxury at its finest!
I was flying solo today. Pod's ankle has become very painful and he's struggling to put weight…

🥾 HexaTrek Day 10 🥾
Neuntelstein - Barr
Last night was a cold one! We slept in the hut at almost 1000m elevation, with the wind whipping through all night and temperatures hovering close to zero. Proper sleep was hard to come by for a second night running, and when…

🥾 HexaTrek Day 9 🥾
La Danon to Neuntelstein
Today started with one of those mornings where you wake up feeling like you've already worked a full night shift.
Camping at altitude definitely has its challenges. The colder temperatures and constant moisture made for a pretty miserable night's sleep. We're…

What a fantastic day on trail!
The route stayed mostly within the forest, but today's viewpoints were some of the best we've had so far. We passed the impressive Porte de Pierre, a natural sandstone arch sculpted by thousands of years…

What a fantastic day on trail! After several days of endless forest, today's route offered the perfect mix of woodland walking, castles, viewpoints and sunshine.
Our first highlight was Château du Haut-Barr, perched dramatically above the surrounding landscape. The famous…
