Hohrod: Hotels and Accommodation

Hohrod combines a natural landscape classified as a Natura 2000 site with themed trails, historic traces and regional craftsmanship. If you would like to stay in Hohrod, you can find and book a hotel there.

Nature and Trails

Hohrod has three themed circular trails. The village is also connected to the 400 kilometres of marked hiking trails in the Munster Valley, including the GR5 variant 531. At the Versant du Soleil in Hohrod, there are opportunities for walks and hikes at the Rosskopf.

The Barrenkopf Trail leads directly to Glasborn and passes through the village of Hohrod’s communal high-altitude pastures. The forests of Hohrod offer opportunities for environmentally friendly outdoor activities.

Culture and History

The Monument aux morts de la Guerre 1914-18 is located on the Route du Linge in Hohrodberg. It was erected around 1925 in memory of the soldiers and civilians who lost their lives in the First World War.

The Hohrodberg–Linge historical circular trail includes a German blockhouse that has been preserved as a remnant of the front line fortified by German troops from summer 1915 onwards. A German command post along this circular trail is still in very good condition.

The origins of Hohrod and Hohrodberg are associated with an early community of courageous pioneer workers known as the “Hohe Roder”.

Crafts and Regional Products

The Ferme Versant du Soleil in Hohrod produces handcrafted farm cheeses, including Munster AOP, Barikass and Tomette. All year round, the farm offers guided tours with tasting at 10 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as on Fridays in July and August. During the shop’s opening hours, a self-guided visit with information panels and a short video is also possible.

The Au Bonheur des Ours workshop offers introductory woodturning sessions during which you can make your own candlestick or mushroom. From Monday to Friday at 9:30 a.m., Doris Baerenzung provides ongoing demonstrations of woodturning in a workshop set up on the ground floor of her house in Hohrod.

In his workshop in Hohrod, Daniel Higlister continues the traditional craft of casting cowbells. He is considered the last cowbell caster in Alsace and one of only three bell casters of this kind working in France.
