Unfortunately the route is blocked between point 12 and the end. There is a new metal barrier blocking the way

If Hombourg-Haut is renowned for its history, the city is not devoid of natural assets either. In the middle of its beautiful verdant forest, we find in particular the charming pond of the Papiermühle. With its picnic tables, it is the perfect place for a break in the middle of a walk.

From the top of its sandstone promontory, the old medieval town of Hombourg-Haut displays all its charm. Rich in its history, this city which was born in the 13th century has many architectural attractions: its imposing collegiate church, the pretty little Sainte-Catherine chapel, its sundial, the city gate and more generally all its fortifications.
