Map / Winkel
The village of Winkel is best known for being home to the source of the Ill, the backbone of Alsace, which, after a 217 km journey, flows into the Rhine north of Strasbourg.
The village backs onto the Glaserberg massif at an altitude of 575m, and enjoys a rich, unspoilt natural setting. In winter, two snowshoe trails and Nordic routes are signposted.


What to see:
- the 18th-century church of Saint Laurent, with two Baroque side altars from the former Lucelle abbey.
- the source of the Ill
- the Warth chapel: a small sanctuary carved partly into the rock, built in the 14th century to commemorate the tragic death of knight Rodolphe de Warth

Things to do
- le sentier des marocains: discover the Maginaux line structures built before 1939. Download the guidebook.
- l?Allée des Hêtres: a remarkable alignment of beech trees. A 6 km circuit with a 160 m gradient and a 2.5 h walk from the Charrière parking lot is signposted.

- marked snowshoe and Nordic ski trails.

Quite a short circuit that requires good physical condition as Rossberg does not yield to just anyone.
