Ultra-Trail des Païens

This 100-kilometre format starts from Orschwiller, the stronghold of the Haut-Koenigsbourg castle. After a passage through the wine trails, you will quickly reach the small fortified town of Saint-Hippolyte. From there, you will start the ascent to the Schaentzel manor. You will then leave the Haut-Rhin department when you enter the Haut-Koenigsbourg enclosure which will mark the beginning of your ride through some twenty castles. You will then alternate between typical villages with half-timbered houses, the Alsatian vineyards and the wooded massifs sheltering medieval castles. At the end of the route, you will follow the same paths as the 50K, discovering the Mont Sainte-Odile and its pagan wall as well as the Celtic atmosphere of the Heidenkopf area. In the last few kilometres, you will cross the Romanesque town of Rosheim before crossing the finish line on the ramparts of Obernai. Departure at 10am, with visits to Haut-Koenigsbourg, Château de Kintzheim and Châtenois between 12.45pm and 2pm.
