Pilgrim walks in Alsace

The Three Lakes Route connects the "Regio Basiliensis" with the Romandie, where it flows into the "Romandie Route" near Payerne, which continues via Geneva to France.

The Alsace Pilgrimage Route should actually have been called "Jakobsweg Grand Est" since 2016, but traditions live long. The route leads from Strasbourg to Thann, where it joins paths coming from Freiburg i.B. and Basel westwards.

From the tri-border area D/CH/F, the Burgunderweg northwest of the Jura arc is the classic route to Le-Puy-En-Velay. Compared to the more direct paths through Switzerland, it is flatter but also longer.

Feeder to the Alsace Jacob's Way that comes from Odilienberg. 21km (7.4 km hard surface of which 2.7 km road) +224 - 175 meters of elevation = 23.7 performance kilometers The path largely follows the GR531; at Attenschwiller a shortcut (local path) and between Niederranspach and Helfranzkirch more energy-saving right around the clearing instead of left. Overnight stays: Allschwil (e.g. Rössli), Wahlbach (e.g. Soleil or Gloriette), I saw nothing similar in between. Public transport options are extremely rare in Alsace: from Basel direction - if at all - usually only 1 connection early in the evening. Taxi from Sierentz to Wahlbach about 20 €.
