Porte de France

Highlight • Restaurant

The southern city gate of Turckheim, also known as the Porte de Colmar or Niedertor, was built around 1330 and was the gateway for trade to Switzerland for centuries. Originally equipped with a drawbridge, portcullis and double doors, it was closed at night and during Sunday mass. The gate successively bore the coats of arms of the Holy Roman Empire and Louis XIV, and in 1871 two turrets were added – which were removed again in 1912. Today it is a beautifully preserved example of medieval city fortifications and an iconic landmark in the cityscape of Turckheim.

Turckheim Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Turckheim is undoubtedly one of the prettiest villages on the Wine Route. Don't hesitate to stop in its pleasant square or near its lovely fountain.

It's wonderful to be able to follow the process of a successful harvest here all year round.
This way you can see that there is always some activity in the vineyards in every season.
Stop for a moment and enjoy the hard work.

Kaysersberg

Highlight • Settlement

Kaysersberg with its many half-timbered houses, its historic center and its castle ruins high above the city has a great charm.
The fortified Weissbrücke was built in 1514 from red sandstone to repel from the Weiss coming attackers. From the bridge you have a very nice view of the city and the castle

On Easter Monday, we experienced live that many visitors appreciate this beautiful historic old town with its richly decorated half-timbered houses and beautiful Gothic and Renaissance town houses.

They are simply enchanting, the villages of the Alsace Wine Route, strung like pearls on a string, with their half-timbered houses, flower-decorated alleys, old stones and vineyards as far as the eye can see 🥰

Our starting point today was Eguisheim, a romantic wine town in Alsace. Eguisheim is considered "one of the most beautiful villages in France" and rightly so 😉

We continued across fields and short stretches of forest to Colmar. Since we had already explored the old town of Colmar on foot the rainy day before - highly recommended - a quick …

Not only was this bike tour beautiful, but the destination is also highly recommended. Eguisheim is a wonderful little town. This is also my 1111th tour on Komoot. We topped that off with a glass or two of wine at the Freudenreich winery. It was another beautiful day in Alsace. 😀🙋‍♀️🙋🏼‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️😊👍🍾🍷🥂
