A real sporting challenge, this route is aimed at experienced cyclists. Why not do it over two days? Take a break to explore the cultural and heritage attractions of Delle, Porrentruy, Boncourt and Brebotte. Combining greenways (Eurovélo6, francovélosuisse, voie verte de la Largue in Alsace) and steep country roads, this loop is the most difficult. We like: the Maison de la Nature in Altenach, the stork park in Seppois and the Bison Park in Boncourt*.

As this trail crosses the Strasbourg – Molsheim – St Dié and Strasbourg – Sélestat – Colmar railway lines, it can be done stage by stage and you can easily return to your starting point.

Hidden in the Limberg forest are several remnants of German war shelters from 1914-18 that sheltered the rear lines of the front that was located a few kilometres away, near Burnhaupt-le-Haut.

Built between 1868 and 1870 under the impetus of Father Adam, who was both architect and master builder, the church of Lauw stands out as an iconic landmark of the village. Its Franche-Comté-style roof, with its geometric patterns and bright colours, is a strong element of local identity, recognisable among all others in the valley. Transferred to the municipality in 1987 by the parish council, the church, along with all its parish property, became part of the municipal heritage. Over time, the building suffered damage during the two world wars. Carefully restored, it has been returned to its former glory thanks to the successive interventions of the painters Greth and then Talenti, who have brought it back to life while respecting its spiritual character. In 2002, a significant event further strengthened the link between the parish and the municipality: two new bells were jointly acquired. This was a first, as until then the bells had come from another parish, recovered after the initial construction of the building.

At the end of the forest, you can make a 200-metre round trip to admire a bi-centennial silver willow (circumference 8.40 m), the only survivor of the 1974 land consolidation.

At the corner of the wood, there is a beautiful view of the village of Galfingue, the peaks of the Black Forest, the Vosges and the Jura.

The Church of Saint George in Sentheim was built in 1779, based on plans by architect Gaspard Mertz, who was working for Masevaux Abbey at the time. It replaced the village's old church, becoming a new place of worship at the heart of the community. The interior of the church still has remarkable liturgical furniture, made entirely of wood: the choir altars, side altars, confessionals and pulpit bear witness to the craftsmanship of the time. The bell tower was added during the 19th century. The organ, built between 1787 and 1788 by the organ builder Rabigny, is pneumatic. It has undergone several major transformations: first by Callinet in 1841, then by Martin Rinckenbach, who modernised it while respecting its original character. Behind the high altar, an imposing oil painting depicts Saint George slaying the dragon, a symbol of faith and the victory of good over evil. Opposite the church, a small square features a Lourdes grotto with a fountain, as well as a war memorial, a place of remembrance and contemplation for the local residents.

The Church of Saint Maurice in Guewenheim was built in 1760. Silent witnesses to history, its walls were severely damaged during the two world wars. Between 1958 and 1965, a complete restoration restored its dignity, respecting its original architecture. Inside, two altars attract attention: one dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary and the other to Saint Anthony of Padua. Made of wood and stucco, they were painted in 1833 by Antoine Feuerstein, as was the tomb of the high altar, executed in an elegant neoclassical style. The main altarpiece depicts Saint Maurice receiving the crown of martyrs from the hands of Christ, a striking work by Heinrich Kaiser. The baptismal font, meanwhile, comes from the old church, preserving a tangible link with the village's religious past. The organ, built in 1833 by Joseph Stiehr, has survived the ages thanks to several successive restorations carried out by Rinckenbach, Thomann and then Louis-François Callinet, thus perpetuating a musical tradition at the heart of the liturgy.

At the exit of the forest, a three hundred year old oak tree (circumference 4.70 m) stands like a sentinel opposite the fields.
