The SiehlbaechlePhoto: Christian Schott, Club Vosgien
The waterfall is particularly impressive in winter and during the snowmelt. You will cross the watercourse by a footbridge.
This walk can also be complemented for contemporary art lovers by visiting the Schneider Foundation in Wattwiller. Visiting the village church is also recommended; classified as a Historic Monument in 1930, the Saint John the Baptist church is among the five oldest known churches in Upper Alsace.
Also worth seeing is its crypt, dating from the 12th century.
Author’s recommendation
Caution during winter season, the trail can be slippery and covered with ice in places.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
