Monuments and architecture
The House of the Pagans
Built in 1534 at the initiative of Palatine Count Louis V, its architecture, unique in Alsace, is as much civil as miliary. Built on a rocky promontory overlooking the forest, the site was occupied by a watchtower in the Gallo-Roman era, as evidenced by traces of foundations in the cellar. Considered a high vibratory place, it would mark the location of a Celtic place of worship.

Sensitive areas

Along your trek, you will go through sensitive areas related to the presence of a specific species or environment. In these areas, an appropriate behaviour allows to contribute to their preservation. For detailed information, specific forms are accessible for each area.

A quiet zone is not a legally mandated area; rather, it refers to areas considered conducive to the activities of sensitive species that have a critical need for quiet (feeding, migration, reproduction, giving birth, raising young, hibernation, and seeking mates).

Adopt the 5 “Quiétude Attitude” best practices and help preserve the peace and quiet of wildlife!

No. 1 I familiarize myself with quiet zones and the regulations
No. 2 I stay on marked trails
No. 3 I respect the silence of nature
No. 4 I keep my pet on a leash
No. 5 I prioritize daytime activities

The “Quiétude Attitude” program raises public awareness about the best practices to follow in natural environments to preserve the tranquility of animal species.
