This region has hundreds of small fishponds, once created by monks in the Middle Ages. Today they form a patchwork of water, reeds and forest – a paradise for birds, cyclists and those seeking peace and quiet. You cycle along quiet banks, see herons take flight and enjoy local specialities such as fried carp along the way.

In and around Hindlingen you have a good chance of spotting storks anyway, especially in spring and summer, but here you are certain. These elegant birds nest on roofs and poles, and forage in the wet meadows around the village. A nice moment to stop and enjoy this living symbol of Alsace.

Right next to the Largue cycle path lies this cosy nature centre in Altenach. You will find a short educational walk, a playground, picnic benches and a small exhibition about the nature of Alsace. Ideal to stretch your legs, have a bite to eat or go exploring with children. Free admission and open on Sunday afternoons in the summer months.

Beautiful pond on the edge of the forest. Many paths lead through the woods, enough to make a nice little outing from Vendlincourt.
