The best walking in Alsace

Our walking holidays in Alsace explore the area north-west of Colmar, between the River Rhine and the Vosges Mountains. There’s no shortage of ancient castles, nor of fairy-tale villages characterised by flower-bedecked houses, cobbled streets and churches topped with storks’ nests, so don’t forget your camera!
