Heuchelheim: Vineyards and Local Produce

Highlight • Settlement

Heuchelheim with its many broom restaurants in autumn is an insider tip. The range of apples, nuts, pears, potatoes, onions, new and old wine in the farms is amazing. Buying the winter supplies is a real treat!

Napoleon's bench Klingenmünster

Highlight • Monument

"The bench is located in Bahnhofstrasse next to the entrance to the Keysermühle. A total of 125 of these benches were set up on the orders of Napoleon I, on the occasion of the birth of the long-awaited Dauphin, throughout the Bas-Rhin department, which also included the Palatinate. The benches were usually set up around the villages so that the rural population could put down their loads (they mainly carried head loads) and rest. So-called 'rests' have a very long tradition.
Special features: In Klingenmünster, the bench has no lintel at the top, only reinforcements on the sides. In the upper right-hand chapter there is an inscription: 'La Commune De Klingen Minster'." Source (quoted verbatim): klingenmuenster.org/node/2

St. Michael's Church (former monastery church), Klingenmünster

Highlight • Religious Site

Together with Toley and Weissenburg in Alsace, Klingenmünster was one of the oldest monasteries on German-speaking soil. Germany didn't exist yet, just the Merovingian Empire. Klingenmünster joined the Irish Scottish monk movement. Boniface's line prevailed. A fire in the early Middle Ages destroyed most of the documents. Therefore we know little about the early history of the monastery. Through their care yards on the right of the Rhine, they were involved in the missionary work in southern Germany.

Highlight • Settlement

I started cycling tours from Klingenmünster. The large parking lot at the Klingbachhalle is ideal for this.
