The best spring outings at the Beau Jardin

2. 2. Stroll through the heart of the blossoming orchards

In spring, the orchards offer a natural spectacle that is as fleeting as it is magical. The apple and cherry trees are adorned with delicate white and pink blossoms, transforming the landscape into a picture-postcard scene. 

It’s the perfect time for a leisurely stroll or bike ride, camera in hand. The quiet country lanes allow you to fully enjoy the peace and beauty of the surroundings. 

2. 2. Explore the region’s hiking trails

Le Beau Jardin is full of signposted trails suitable for all abilities. In spring, the mild temperatures and the reawakening of nature make every walk particularly enjoyable.
Among the must-see routes:

• The undulating paths between fields and villages
• The circuits around the Kochersberg hills
• Family walks through the wooded valleys of the Pays de la Zorn

These walks offer open, sun-drenched views, typical of this region with its understated charm.

2. 2. Explore the area by bike

For cycling enthusiasts, spring is the perfect time to get on your bike. The quiet country lanes of the Pays de la Zorn allow you to explore the area at your own pace.

Amidst flower-filled villages, fields bursting with growth and sweeping views, every turn of the pedals becomes an invitation to explore. Routes suitable for both families and keen cyclists are available, with opportunities to stop off in the villages to savour local specialities.

2. 2. Discover charming villages

Spring really brings out the best in the villages of the Beau Jardin. The half-timbered houses are adorned with primroses, daffodils and tulips in a myriad of colours; the narrow streets gradually come to life, and the atmosphere is perfect for a leisurely stroll.

Each village has its own identity, history and little treasures: ancient fountains, traditional churches, welcoming squares, traditional farms… An authentic immersion in the Alsatian way of life.

2. 2. Make the most of seasonal markets and produce

The return of spring also heralds the arrival of fresh, local produce. Asparagus, strawberries, herbs… the region’s markets are bursting with flavour.

It’s the perfect opportunity to meet the producers, discover the local area and pick up a few specialities to enjoy on a picnic in the great outdoors. Farm shops are the ideal place to stock up on 100% local produce, with freshness guaranteed!
