Mont St. Odile
Mont St. Odile submitted by IndianaStones : Part of the hillfort surrounding Mont St. Odile Teil der Heidenmauer rund um den Odilienberg (Vote or comment on this photo)
The forest of Mont St. Odile is one of the most magical locations I have ever visited. While walking you sometimes feel like being in a fairy tale because of the natural finished forest with its lovely paths, the moss and mushrooms, wooden cut figures, the silence and loneliness.

In addition there are lots of fascinating relics of forgotten times which make it much more interesting. The complete circular walk is 18 km long, it’s better to split it up in two days. You can spend a cheap night at the Abbey. The mountain is surrounded completely by an ancient wall (Heidenmauer) which is conserved very well excepting a few parts.

Furthermore you will pass castles, a couch made of stones, impressing rock formations, tooled stones and basin/holed rocks, a dolmen and other interesting things.
A walk could not be more diversified!

The coordinates refer to the Abbey, the starting point.

Odilienberg im Elsaß

Die Umgebung rund um das Kloster auf dem Odilienberg ist einer der magischsten Orte, die ich bisher kennengelernt hab. Die Wanderung hat etwas märchenhaftes, was an dem naturbelassenem Wald mit seinen schönen Waldwegen, Moosen und Pilzen, den Felsformationen, geschnitzten Figuren und an der Stille und Einsamkeit liegt.
Und dazu kommen noch faszinierende Relikte aus längst vergessenen Zeiten, die den Weg so interessant machen. Die Rundwanderung beträgt 18 km, es empfiehlt sich, sie auf 2 Tage aufzuteilen, man kann im Kloster für kleines Geld übernachten.
Der ganze Berg ist umgeben von einer Heidenmauer, die, bis auf ein paar Abschnitte, gut erhalten ist. Weiter bekommt man Burgen, ein Steinsofa, bearbeitete Felsen und Schalensteine, einen Dolmen und viele weitere interessante Dinge zu sehen.
Abwechslungsreicher kann eine Wanderung wirklich nicht sein!

Die Koordinaten beziehen sich auf das Kloster, dem Startpunkt der Wanderung.
