The Écomusée d’Alsace was originally created on the industrial wasteland of the old potassium mines, some 30 years ago and has since become a site with a wide variety of habitats, a village, fields, forests, a pond and rivers, which have resulted in considerable biodiversity. Several areas have been set up to allow the public to enjoy a close-up of nature and become aware of the importance of preserving it.
Nature trails take you out exploring the museum wildlands and also discovering some hidden treasures! Venture out on one of our 5 trails – the trail of superb scenery, the trail of woodland emotions, the trail of the dry hill, the field trail and the remnants trail.
A short trail, 800 m long, which introduces you to some unusual species, with stories to entertain you.
This trail takes you on a tour round remains of the First World War, which had before been hidden beneath the shrubbery. You’ll see the command post, living quarters, stables and the kitchen, vivid reminders of the tragic fate of these soldiers.
This 2 km long trail takes you off through the woods and along the water to explore the hidden and visible sides of the animal and plant worlds. It’s where poetry arrives at the crossroads of history and nature!
