The birth of the SPA de Haguenau & Environs
The SPA de Haguenau & Environs was created on April 6, 1960. Our association is part of the Confédération Nationale Défense de l’Animal and is completely self-sufficient both financially and administratively. It thus forms a separate entity with its own board of directors and management.
Our shelter is located in Haguenau, a very dynamic Alsatian city known for its large green spaces and lowland forests, and which is currently the fourth most important urban pole of Alsace. Together with the Strasbourg, Ebersheim and Saverne sites, they represent the only shelters in Bas-Rhin.
Opening hours and access
The refuge opens its doors from Monday to Saturday (except on Wednesdays, Sundays and public holidays) from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and exceptionally every 1st Sunday of the month from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
It is located on Route de Schirrhein in Haguenau (67500) and you can access it through a forest path connected to the D29 b-road.
