Land Art Hut Among Mossy Rocks

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The walk up is worth it. The artfully designed hut is made of long sticks. It is held together with cable ties. Not exactly environmentally friendly, but durable. Partly covered with moss and nestled against the rocks. It is accessible.

Andlau Castle

Highlight • Castle

Also known as Haut-Andlau, Andlau Castle is an atypical fortification with its two towers which stand on the heights of the Alsatian vineyard. The place is perfect as a hiking objective from Andlau, Mittelbergheim or Barr.

Andlau Bear Statue

Highlight • Monument

The bear is the symbol of Andlau and Saint Richardis of Swabia.
According to the Richardis, the wife of Emperor Charles the Fat was in 887 accused of misconduct by her husband. To show his innocence she submits herself to the test of fire. Barefoot and wearing a shirt covered with wax, she passes through the flames unharmed. Although her innocence was proved, she left the imperial palace and went into the forest. An angel appeared and ordered her to found a monastery at the place to be supplied by a bear. At the entrance of the Val d'Eleon, on the banks of the river, she sees the beast announced scraping the ground.
At that spot she founded the abbey of Andlau. Since that time, Andlau is the bear village, 'le village aux ours'.
