Guided tour - Exceptional forest "Hidden treasures" in collaboration with the town of Haguenau and the ONF (French Forestry Commission)
"Oil in the forest, discovering a historic exploitation..."
Events
Did you know that one of the first oil operations took place in northern Alsace, around Merkwiller-Pechelbronn and even in the undivided forest of Haguenau? It was the richness of the forest subsoil that gave birth to this industry, which lasted for around two centuries and left its mark on the region through its social and economic impact. A visit to the museum, followed by an outing in the forest, will enable you to discover the history of this industry and the traces that remain in the forest.
