GR®53

From Wissembourg (Bas-Rhin) to Donon Pass (Moselle)

Crossing the Northern Vosges Mountains, the GR®53 offers a spectacular immersion between Wissembourg and the Col de l'Engin pass. This historic trail, a pioneer of long-distance hiking in France, winds through a forest of beech and Scots pine, home to the Eurasian lynx and the capercaillie. The landscape is marked by impressive spurs of pink sandstone, sculpted by time and erosion. This unique geology is listed as a UNESCO Global Geopark. The heritage is equally remarkable: the trail passes through fortified medieval villages, Romanesque churches and the impressive Maginot Line fortifications of the Bas-Rhin.
