Running
Whether in terms of distance or elevation, this stage is the most demanding. Especially since the places to refuel are rarer than the previous days. So pack your trail bag well and start the day with the climb to Mont Saint-Odile.
This mid-mountain summit is emblematic in Alsace because of the convent it hosts. Take the time to enter to visit it and why not stock up on food. You are only at the eighth kilometer, but you have to wait until the forty-second kilometer to find shops.
In the meantime, you run on the heights of the sanctuary. Then climbs and descents shorter than the first are linked on pretty wooded paths. Finally, near the small village of Klingenthal, the last real ascent awaits you. It takes you to the Heidenkopf and its famous tower overlooking the Rhine plain and the Black Forest.
There are then seventeen kilometers of descent and false flats to reach Obernai, the end point of this trip. How pleasant it is to relax in its charming Alsatian streets before reaching the station. Hoping to arrive early enough to offer you a last supply in one of its cafes before taking the train.

Mount Sainte-Odile
Highlight • Settlement
The monastery complex now also houses a hotel and a restaurant. The monastery can largely be visited freely and there are many corners to go 'into yourself'.
The place is widely known and popular, so it is usually well frequented.

At the top there are boards all around, with which one can assign the closer (and more distant) sights.
