2nd day Alsace

A very hearty breakfast marked the start of the first day of hiking, a stage of about 16 kilometers.

After saying goodbye to Holm, the slow but steady ascent to the 3 Châteaus began. The path wound its way through lush green vineyards up to the heights of the Vosges. Soon we reached the shady forest, protected from the strong burning sun.

First highlight, once we reached the top, the 3 Châteaus. From there, we had a wonderful panoramic view. And we met several hikers who were also on the trail.

Continuing along the heights to Hohlandsberg Castle. Unfortunately closed. From there, it went downhill.

After about four and a half hours, we reached our destination and enjoyed a cold beer under the parasol.
