HAUT RHIN
The Haut-Rhin is a land of traditions, diversity and discoveries, particularly regarding the richness of its heritage and its geographical location at the heart of Europe. The numerous museums of the department bear witness to an impassioned history: the City of the train and the City of the Car of Mulhouse, the Ecomuseum of Alsace in Ungersheim, the Unterlinden Museum in Colmar, the Museum of Printed Textiles in Mulhouse...
The typical architecture of the towns and villages of Haut-Rhin is the reflection of a region of character and an invitation to explore: the forts of Neuf-Brisach, the Landskron and Kaysersberg castles, the Thann and Colmar Collegiates, the villages of Hunawihr, Eguisheim and Riquewihr, labelled as the most beautiful villages in France and the town of Thann, labelled as the most beautiful detour in France. Just some of the curiosities that make High Alsace a protected area.
In the same way, nature and the diversity of the landscapes make it an ideal terrain for walking and mountain biking. The Vosges club proposes many splendid circuits to be explored while enjoying the fine weather.
Talking about Alsace immediately makes you think of its delicious gastronomy. Lovers of good food are sure to enjoy exploring the region by travelling along the Alsace wine trail and its 175 km of vines, along the 'Fried Carp Road' of the Sundgau between the towns of Altkirch and Winkel or along the Cheese Road which starts in the valley of Munster...
