Jlauer_SgmsTourisme

On site, you will find the trail under the following name: CHEMIN DE VIE ET DES CRÊTES

Start your journey at the car park between the town hall and the sports complex and embark on a walking trail through the heart of the natural surroundings of the charming commune of Woustviller. Take this looping route in either direction. To enjoy the scenery and points of interest to its fullest, follow the Grosswald on the left.

The route takes you through the Grosswald forest and the Sarreguemines state forest, where you will undoubtedly appreciate the diversity of forest paths. The tranquillity of the countryside will overwhelm you. The route also passes close to the Élevage del Navajo, an equestrian centre offering pony rides and other activities for children. Make sure you take the opportunity to admire the ponds lining the property and the horses peacefully grazing in their paddocks, adding a serene, rural touch to the walk.

Along the way, you will cross two ridges offering magnificent views of the surrounding countryside. These sweeping panoramic views are an excellent reason to take a break and admire the beauty of the landscape.

The next section takes you through the quiet streets of the village, before joining the “Chemin de Vie” (The Path of Life), an investment by the commune of Woustviller. This 3.5 km pedestrian path winds its way through the lush greenery behind the houses, linking the two housing estates in the village. This is the perfect place to enjoy a bucolic interlude and access playgrounds and relaxation areas, ideal for families looking to extend this moment of well-being.
This loop is ideal for a family outing. It offers immersion in nature, natural overviews and moments of conviviality, all in a calm and soothing atmosphere.
