Allschwil-Wahlbach (... Odilienberg)
recommended route Difficulty moderate

175 m
Feeder to the Alsace Jacob's Way that comes from Odilienberg. 21km (7.4 km hard surface of which 2.7 km road) +224 - 175 meters of elevation = 23.7 performance kilometers The path largely follows the GR531; at Attenschwiller a shortcut (local path) and between Niederranspach and Helfranzkirch more energy-saving right around the clearing instead of left. Overnight stays: Allschwil (e.g. Rössli), Wahlbach (e.g. Soleil or Gloriette), I saw nothing similar in between. Public transport options are extremely rare in Alsace: from Basel direction - if at all - usually only 1 connection early in the evening. Taxi from Sierentz to Wahlbach about 20 €.
Mont Sainte-Odile

    Wie sind heute die Tour gegangen und es war ein wirklich wunderschön Tour. Außer leider an einer Stelle bei welcher man der Straße folgen muss und sehr vorsichtig vor vorbei fahrenden Autos sein muss. Der Anstieg am Ende ist nichts für Anfänger und sollte nicht unterschätzt werden. Wir konnte die Tour, mit kleineren Pausen knapp unter 4 Stunden laufen.
