Tips from the Community
The most luxurious "time out" in Alsace 🏰🚫🍷 Chic architecture and great views. The catch? The drinks menu here is extremely one-sided and definitely alcohol-free. A place of recreation for anyone who has taken a wrong turn in life when it comes to "fluid intake". Looking costs nothing, moving in requires a colorful past!

Schloss Marienbronn: Where water learns to taste again 💧🏰 A wonderful building, but don't be fooled! Anyone who moves in here for a cure has taken the motto "Drinking a lot is important" a bit too seriously – unfortunately, with the wrong drinks. Here, you are retrained from "king of the promille" back to "water fan". A great sight for hikers, as long as you just walk by!

Headwind? Then just drive in the other direction. Or check the weather forecast beforehand. You wouldn't believe it...

"Bancs-reposoirs du Roi de Rome" At the initiative of the Prefect of the French department of Bas-Rhin, Adrien de Lezay-Marnésia, the benches were erected in 1811/12 to commemorate the birth of Napoléon-François-Joseph-Charles Bonaparte, the son of Napoleon Bonaparte. In a letter to the municipal administrations dated April 22, 1811, he stated that these stone benches should be placed along the country roads and that shady trees should be planted behind them. The costs were to be borne by the municipalities. The Alsatians called them the Navele Bänk (Napoleon's Bench, bancs de Napoléon) in their local dialect; this name is also common in the neighboring Palatinate region. Text: Rudolf Wild, Annweiler
