Cheese Route

The Cheese Route

In 1968, Roger GRUNINGER, director of the tourist office, precursor of the current intercommunal tourist office, created the CHEESE ROUTE, which links the 28 farm inns in the Munster valley. This route promotes the tourist development of high-altitude farms, and of the entire territory. Over time, it fell into disuse, although still present in the collective memory.

Following the opening of the Maison du Fromage in 2011, the community of communes and the tourist office inaugurated the new Cheese Route – Munster Valley on 28 April 2012 at the Maison du Fromage.
61 agro-tourism players, farm inns, inns and cheese dairies, are enthusiastically committed to running this tourist route. They are identified by a sign. While the production of Munster cheese in the valley is mainly based on cow’s milk, 4 goat farms are also involved in the project.

The 100 km of asphalt road are usually travelled by car or coach; the new Cheese Route favours accessibility by soft travel, with public transport, such as trains or TER buses. It can be practiced on foot using the 365 km of hiking trails marked by the Vosges club, with donkeys, by mountain bike, by bike, with snowshoes or cross-country skiing. The mountain guides offer day trips and packaged products.

The “km 0” of the Cheese Route is the Maison du Fromage in Gunsbach.
