Uncover the gems of Orbey at Camping Lefébure

Orbey is full of natural and cultural wonders. After exploring the left-hand side of the village, this new journey takes you to the other side, where you'll find a whole host of different atmospheres. Start in a fairy-tale forest where the stones tell legends. Then plunge into the military past of the First World War as you cross the Linge battlefield. The traces of the past have left exceptional landscapes where nature and culture are one. You can round off your day with a visit to the Linge Memorial Museum, which exhibits French and German artefacts found on the site. It's a must-see for all history buffs. From here, you'll gain altitude and gradually reach the typical landscapes. From here, you can see the rounded peaks of the Vosges massif, such as the Hohneck, on one side, and the Kaysersberg valley on the other. Then head for Lac Noir, your finishing point once you've circumnavigated it. At an altitude of 955 m, this small lake is sure to surprise you with its many unsuspected scenery. This new stage also marks the halfway point in the tour.

Start at the Bois le Sire hotel. Direction Camping Lefébure and Tour du Faudé. In the distance you can see the ruins of the Hohnack castle. Direction Col du Bermont, return at the market place, along the river until the hotel.

In a rural setting, walk to Labaroche, Orbey's neighbouring commune. A pleasant walk in the middle of the meadows where there is a succession of viewpoints. Go up to the ruins of the Hohnack castle. On a clear day, this site offers one of the most beautiful views of the Alsace plain. To enjoy this hike even more, organise a day trip and visit the woodworking museum halfway up the trail.

Lac Blanc via Rocher Hans, Rudlin cascade via Roche des Fées and its footbridges, Lac Vert via the panoramic trail of the Tanet-Gazon du Faing reserve, the cirque of Lac des Truites and the tour of Lac Noir. All this in a single hike, whereas they are often presented independently of each other.

This 3-stage itinerary lets you discover the different worlds of Pays Welche, the green lung of the Kaysersberg Valley. Starting in Orbey, you'll reach the summits to admire the region's three emblematic lakes. The route continues towards the Massif de la Tête des Faux, where many remnants of the First World War still remain. The descent into the valley takes you to the Tour du Faudé, offering a 360° panoramic view of the Welche countryside.

There is a legend about these curious stones. If a husband stood underneath them and moved the stone with his index finger, his wife's fidelity would be assured. As a couple, beware, this hike is not to be taken lightly. Will you be able to find the stone engraved by German troops in 14-18 at the Carrefour Ferrebeuf?

Accessible to all, this circuit takes you to the balconies of Orbey. A stone's throw from the village, this family walk is a real breath of fresh air.

Our favourite parts of the walk : - The enchanting forest of trembling stones - Discover the remains of the military past at the Linge site - The Linge ridge and its panoramic view over two slopes

The Rudlin waterfall is located a little over 100 m above the valley floor. The water flows from the top of a 10 m high rock into a basin that it has dug for itself, to leap from rock to rock down the slope. If you go up the narrow and steep path that runs along the stream, you will find the upper waterfall about a hundred meters higher. The stream divides into two branches where the water, in its rapid course, sometimes widening like a silver sheet, sometimes narrowing to fall in a single mass, forms a non-interrupted series of small waterfalls.

Very efficient technology and marvellously simple.
