Tips from the Community
An Alsatian resting bench is a type of public bench built in Alsace during the 19th century. On market or fair days, farmers, and especially peasant women, would travel to the towns or large villages where a market was held. Heavily laden, they brought their farm produce. The peasant women carried a basket on their heads, protected by a cushion (der Wisch), filled with bran and wheat chaff. The peasant men, for their part, carried their produce in a basket slung over their backs by two leather straps. During stops, the peasant women could place their loads on the lintel and then rest on the bench on the lower slab, usually in the shade of four linden trees. On either side stood two posts where men could place their baskets or where riders could remount their horses. In Alsace, there are two types of resting benches: those of the King of Rome (also known as Marie-Louise benches[1]) dating from 1811; those of Empress Eugénie dating from 1854.

The Château des Rohan, formerly called "The Little Alsatian Versailles," is located in the city center of Saverne on the Rhine-Marne Canal. This former bishop's castle, built in the 13th century and restored in the 19th century on the initiative of Napoleon III, now houses a museum, a cultural center, a youth hostel, and a school. The neoclassical façade (park side), made of pink sandstone, is 140 meters long, which is the same horizontal height as Strasbourg Cathedral. The Château des Rohan Museum presents extensive Gallo-Roman and medieval archaeological collections. It consists of three departments: Art and History, Louise Weiss, and Archaeology. The Art and History department encompasses many areas: paintings, prints, and 15th- and 16th-century polychrome wood carvings from the churches of Saverne and the region, as well as a room dedicated to the history of the castle. Louise Weiss Department To honor her Alsatian ties (her family originally came from Petite-Pierre near Saverne), journalist Louise Weiss (1893-1983) donated her collections (ethnographic objects, paintings, drawings, 19th- and 20th-century decorative arts, and personal archives) to the Saverne Museum in 1981 and 1983. Archaeological Department In the vaulted cellars of the castle, the museum houses a rich archaeological collection, including numerous Gallo-Roman funerary and votive steles. Tours of the museum and access to the castle roof are available (upon request). Admission (museum + roof access): €5 (adults) and €4 (students)

The climb from Rosteig up towards Volksberg is one of the more difficult climbs in the Northern Vosges. However, it's also one of the most beautiful.

A large neoclassical palace from the late 18th century, especially in relation to the relatively small town. Located at the lower end of the old town, it has a large park at the rear, facing the Rhine-Marne Canal. The palace now belongs to the city and houses two museums, a primary school, a youth hostel, and several theaters and event venues. The varied history of its use is interesting; details can be found online: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohan-Schloss
