The Mussler winery in Bissersheim offers a wonderful ambiance. The cypress avenue lends a Tuscan flair.

A beautiful spot with a bench for a break; views of cow pastures, shady in summer; trees all around decorated with butterflies made by the village children.

Nice fountain. There is no sign saying that it is not drinking water, but I'm not sure if you should drink it. At least the water is nice and cool in the summer to cool your arms 😊
