Nestled along the Alsace Wine Route, this picturesque village is a captivating blend of medieval charm, vineyard-covered hills, and traditional Alsatian architecture. Surrounded by rolling landscapes and crowned by the ruins of three ancient castles, it feels like a step back in time.

Narrow cobblestone streets wind past brightly painted half-timbered houses adorned with overflowing flower boxes. The village center is lively yet peaceful, with charming squares, local wine cellars, and artisan shops offering regional delicacies and crafts. The blend of colors, textures, and aromas creates an irresistible atmosphere.

Above the village, the ruins of Saint-Ulrich, Girsberg, and Haut-Ribeaupierre castles watch over the valley, inviting hikers to explore scenic trails with panoramic views of the vineyards and the Vosges Mountains. In the heart of town, historical sites like the Pfifferhüs (House of the Minstrels) and the 13th-century church reflect a rich cultural heritage.

Famous for its wine production, particularly Riesling and Gewürztraminer, the village is an ideal stop for tastings and exploring the deep connection between local life and viticulture. Annual festivals, such as the Fête des Ménétriers (Minstrels’ Festival), bring music, costumes, and joy to the cobbled streets.

Full of character and set against a backdrop of natural and historical beauty, this Alsatian gem offers an unforgettable experience in the heart of wine country.
