Breisach on the Rhine with St. Stephen's Minster

Highlight • Religious Site

Small town well worth seeing.
From the Münsterberg you have a beautiful view of the Rhine Valley.
Often in the focus of German and European politics, the history of the "mother town of Breisgau" goes back over 4000 years.

As early as the Neolithic Age, people settled on the plateau of today's Münsterberg and in the Celtic era there was a princely seat here,
which maintained trade relations as far as the Mediterranean.
From then on, over the centuries, under the influence of the ruling kings, thanks to its many buildings, Breisach became the religious and cultural center of the emerging community.

Fortifications of Neuf-Brisach

Highlight • Other

Neuf-Brisach is the city of the Sun King: it was founded in 1699 by the sole will of Louis XIV. Today, this citadel is considered Vauban's masterpiece. This architecturally unique structure in Europe has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its very existence, its clear and unbroken lines, its 48 blocks arranged in a regular octagon, its fortifications equipped with bastions... make this place a truly unique sight.

Neuf-Brisach

Highlight • Settlement

Neuf-Brisach is an Alsatian town steeped in history. Built after the loss by the kingdom of France of Vieux-Brisach on the other side of the Rhine, it symbolizes the Franco-Germanic relationship. It is now separated from its German counterpart by the bridge over the Rhine. More than a simple construction, this bridge symbolizes the link between the two countries.

Built ex nihilo in 1697 by Vauban on the orders of Louis XIV, Neuf-Brisach is part of the network of major Vauban sites and is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Located on the routes of EuroVelo 15 and the cycle route between Colmar and Fribourg, it is an essential stop for cycling. Walking along its ramparts and discovering its streets following the characteristic octagonal plan of the city is very pleasant.

Half-Timbered Houses in the Ring Alleys of Eguisheim

Highlight • Settlement

What makes Eguisheim special is that these half-timbered houses are built in concentric circles around the former castle of the Counts of Eguisheim. This creates a unique street pattern that invites visitors to wander around the village in circles. The houses are often painted in bright colours and richly decorated with flowers, wooden shutters and wrought iron signs. Each house seems to tell its own story, and together they form a harmonious whole that gives Eguisheim its fairytale appearance.

Wonderful medieval streets in Eguisheim

Highlight • Settlement

The half-timbered houses of Eguisheim are one of the most characteristic and beloved elements of the village. They date mostly from the 16th to the 18th century and are built in the typical Alsatian style, with a wooden frame structure filled with clay, brick or plaster. This construction technique was not only economical and flexible, but also resistant to earthquakes, which occasionally occurred in the region
