Tour description
The first stop after leaving Strasbourg is the city of Molsheim, famous as the home of Bugatti, amongst other things: you will discover the fortified old town of this ancient episcopal city, before going on to Rosheim, a village famous for its Romanesque church and old houses.
After a visit to the village of Boersch and its famous three gates, we head to Mont Sainte Odile, discovering an exceptional panoramic view of the entire Alsace Plain.
Your lunch break will be in Alsace’s second most visited city after Strasbourg (and many Alsatian people’s favourite): the cheerful city of Obernai.
You will have time to explore this dynamic city and make the most of its shops before setting off for the famous Château de Haut-Koenigsbourg in the early afternoon (château admission tickets included in the tour price).
Bernardswiller, Barr, Mittelbergheim, Andlau, Itterswiller, Nothalten, Blienschwiller, Dambach-la-Ville, Scherwiller, Châtenois, Kintzheim…
We will go through many small towns and villages, all a delight to behold, before visiting this ancient castle fort built in the 12th century and thoroughly remodelled in the 15th century. It was a German imperial symbol during the reign of Wilhelm II.
We will head back to Strasbourg at the end of the afternoon, after a thrilling day spent discovering the very heart of Alsace.
