Tips

The town of Eguisheim preserves the remains of its two fortified gateways.
This city gate faces the mountain slopes and provides access to the vineyards.
The reputation of this city gate of Eguisheim lies in the origins of the village. The vineyards have played an important role since the presence of Celts.
Eguishem will always occupy an important place on the economic axis between the south and the north, which is defined by the Rhine. The game of city walls, which is so special in Eguisheim, requires double access to regulate the inflow and control the distribution. So they are 4 gates that orchestrate the entrances and exits of the city, until they were destroyed in the 19th century. Now every visitor has free passage and can discover the city in any direction.

After the major conflicts, from the 16th century onwards, the outer bailey was lowered to accommodate cottages that were built for support. If you follow the road, you will pass here again without noticing that Eguisheim takes you into its circle.
