Personal anecdotes
I visited Lohr one autumn weekend and still remember the softness of the air and the heady scent of fallen leaves. Strolling through the village, I met passionate locals who were happy to share their love for their homeland. On a visit to the museum of folk arts and traditions, I was lucky enough to see a demonstration of traditional bread-making, which let me soak up the local culture even more. And what about the walks in the surrounding forests, with their stunning views over the Alsatian countryside! It was a real feast for the eyes and the taste buds. I warmly recommend Lohr to anyone wishing to immerse themselves in Alsatian culture while enjoying the tranquillity of the place. Other towns such as Wasselonne or Molsheim, a little further away, are also worth exploring, each with its own charm and character.

Hi, I'm Enzo! I'm the guy who loves lacing up his hiking boots to explore the rugged trails of the Vosges. Passionate about nature and photography, I take you along through articles that capture the scent of fir forests and the charm of mountain lakes. I live for those moments when the sun rises over the Haut-Koenigsbourg or when I stumble upon an authentic inn along the way. My goal? To inspire you to get out, breathe in the fresh Alsatian air, and always have a great spot for a tarte flambée to share at the end of the day.
