At the foot of the Northern Vosges lies the pleasant little town of La Petite-Pierre. From there, there is an extensive view of the forested mountains. This colorful town is very charming with its half-timbered houses, but it is small. It is said to have just over 600 inhabitants. There are around ten restaurants there. The Hôtel des Vosges deserves a special mention: it offers a breathtaking view of the wooded valley and the Lützelstein castle.

Saint Peter and Saint Paul Abbey Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The abbey church represents, thanks to its great diversity of styles (Romanesque, transitional Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque), one of the most remarkable churches in Lower Alsace.
The interior of the church, dedicated to Saint Peter and Saint Paul, contains remarkable pieces of furniture such as the reliquary of Saint Adelphe, a baptismal font from the 12th century, the Dupont organ from the 18th century and even sculptures in 15th century wood

Saint Adelphe Church — Neuwiller-lès-Saverne

Highlight • Religious Site

Collegiate until the 16th century, currently a Protestant church, it was built by the Benedictine abbey, outside the monastic enclosure, to accommodate the relics of Saint-Adelphe and thus acquire the dual vocation of parish church and church of pilgrimage. This late Romanesque-style building, built for the most part at the start of the 13th century, was deprived of its chancel in the 19th century. The church is open every day from April 1 to October 31 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. in summer and until 5 p.m. in winter
