Walking to Riquewihr

From Kaysersberg we tried to walk to Riquewihr, which was just 5 km north. It was supposed to take about 1 3/4 hour but we got terribly lost since we didn't have a map of the valley. 


We started at the castle in Kaysersberg and followed a trail through the vineyards. We could see Kientzheim in the distance. 


Initially, there were signs pointing to Riquewihr but then the signs were replaced with hiking symbols. Since we didn't know which route we were supposed to take, we chose the route through the woods instead of the one along the road. Big mistake! The route took us uphill and then back to Kaysersberg.

Lesson learned: ask the TI for a detailed hiking map and the route to Riquewihr.
