Hiking: Bettlach casemates trail and St-Brice chapel
Discover the village of Bettlach, facing south which enjoys a superb panorama of the Alsatian Jura massif. Its forest also hosts vestiges of the Maginot line presented through interesting panels. This line of defence, despite the efforts it will have made, played an ephemeral role during the Second World War. The walk then joins the Saint Brice chapel, on the heights of Oltingue, mentioned from the XXth century where you can eat in season in the inn which adjoins it.
