Ultra-Trail des Païens

This 100 kilometer format will start from Orschwiller, home of the famous Haut-Koenigsbourg castle, symbolically located at a hundred meters from the "border" between the two departments. After a passage in the wine paths, you will quickly reach the small fortified town of Saint-Hippolyte. From there, you will attack the ascent towards the manor of Schaentzel. You will then leave the department of Haut-Rhin at the moment of entering the enclosure of Haut-Koenigsbourg which will mark the beginning of your ride through about twenty castles. You will then alternate between typical villages with half-timbered houses, the Alsatian vineyards and the wooded massifs sheltering the castles of the Middle Ages. The end of the tour follows the same paths as the 50K, making you discover the Mont Sainte-Odile and its pagan wall as well as the Celtic atmosphere of the Heidenkopf area. In the last kilometers, you will cross the Romanesque town of Rosheim before crossing the finish line on the ramparts of Obernai.
