The small town of Wissembourg owes its charm to many things, but the traditional half-timbered houses are particularly remarkable. Take the time to stroll around and appreciate the colorful streets that stand out beautifully amidst the vineyards.

Hiking

Many winegrowers used to live in the Bruchviertel (Quartier du Bruch). On the Faubourg du Bitche, which runs on both sides of the Lauter, you can take a nice walk along the Lauter canal. The street is characterized by historic half-timbered houses that are typical of the Alsace region. From Maison de l'ami Fritz head west to the corner of Rue du Marais and Rte. de Bitch.
