Sentier d'excellence 10 - arbres remarquables de Haspelschiedt

This pleasant path starting at the Haspelschiedt pond will take you on a journey to discover some remarkable trees in the Pays de Bitche

Discover the Haspelschiedt pond, the basilica-style Saint-Nicolas church, the small Saint-Wendelin chapel and its picnic table.

Along the way, you will encounter some remarkable trees such as the Kayser oak. This pedunculate oak, which is nearly 350 years old, has a circumference of 4.35 m. Emperor Wilhelm II is said to have visited this spot in 1903, from where he could see a large military training ground. Further along, on the Gruenholz path, you will walk along an avenue of Douglas firs, some of the tallest in France.

Important: part of the Polisher Rock collapsed at the end of 2019. It is no longer accessible during the walk.
