BR75 From the Moder dale into the hop's fields

After Haguenau, renowned notably for its museums and the Fishermen's Tower, the route follows an easy forest road through the Haguenau Forest. After leaving Pfaffenhoffen, seat of the Museum of Popular and Painted Alsatian Imagery (Musée de l'Imagerie populaire et peinte alsacienne), the road then allows you to discover the agricultural villages of the Hanau country, whose typical architecture mixes red sandstone and half- timbering. Hills, forests and cereal crops make up the countryside. The arrival in Hochfelden, a brewery town, marks a change of scenery. After crossing the Zorn valley and the Marne- Rhine canal, the cyclist then finds himself amidst hopfields. Particular attention should be paid to the village of Hohatzenheim, a place of pilgrimage, where there is a remarkable 12th century church.
