CIRCUIT DU GROS CHÊNE

Hiking

A natural and built heritage trail. You can park in the Rue des Remparts parking lot, close to the start of this hike. You'll pass by the cemetery before joining a forest path leading to the Gros Chêne. Back in 1920, the Gros Chêne was described as a fine specimen to be preserved. It's still there, the undeniable king of the forest. Then on to Niederstinzel and the ruins of Geroldseck Castle. On the way back, visit the town of Fénétrange, with its castle (11th-16th century) lined with Diane's gardens overlooking the Sarre. Also worth a visit are the collegiate church (16th century) and numerous medieval houses and mansions belonging to the bailiffs of the Sires de Fénétrange.
