GR®532 Vosges crest and high valleys

From Wissembourg (Bas-Rhin) to Mulhouse (Haut-Rhin)

The GR532 offers an intimate glimpse into Alsatian history, alternating between windswept peaks and industrial valleys. Starting in the Northern Vosges Regional Natural Park, hikers traverse a landscape of red sandstone, marked by the ruins of fortified castles like Fleckenstein, medieval sentinels of a contested border. Heading south, the geography changes: pine forests give way to grassy hills and the glacial cirques of the Upper Rhine. The heritage takes on a more spiritual dimension with the passage to Mont Sainte-Odile, a major pilgrimage site overlooking the Alsatian plain. On the nature front, the trail crosses biological reserves where chamois can be spotted on the slopes of the Hohneck or capercaillies in the wildest areas.
