Discover the pleasure of an itinerant hike in an exceptional natural environment, and finish your journey by relaxing at the Spa in the charming town of Niederbronn les Bains. Along the way, you'll learn to let go and build a new relationship with time, based on slowness and the rediscovery of your 5 senses!
Follow in the footsteps of the mythical red rectangle of the GR 53 from Wissembourg to Niederbronn. The 3 stages will teach you to slow down from the hectic pace of modern life. This is one of the precious virtues of roaming. And at the end of your hike, you can relax body and mind in a 400 m² wellness area, a veritable cocoon of rejuvenation (swimming pool, sauna, hammam). After a Best Off treatment or a relaxing 40-minute massage, you'll forget all about your efforts, and maybe even want to continue this GR next time, all the way to Saverne or beyond...
If you are alone, please select the Single supplement option.
