A truly remarkable fountain—not the only one in Obernai—restored in 2009.... 8 m deep with a water depth of 4 m.

Obernai has very beautiful half-timbered houses

The six-bucket fountain in Renaissance style (1579) consists of three central columns supporting a canopy with excerpts from the New Testament.

Obernai preserves impressive half-timbered houses, historic city walls, towers, and gates – a living example of Alsatian architecture. The pretty Place du Marché with its Chapel Tower (the only one in all of Alsace) and the Renaissance-style town hall are central landmarks.

The Place de l'Etoile (Star Square) takes its name from a former inn. The mill canal once flowed across the square, which was also used for calibrating barrels, hence the name "Sinnplatz" (meaning place). The number of mills powered by the Ehn or the canal varied over time. A flourishing viticulture industry and a diverse range of crafts promoted the town's development during the Renaissance. Obernai wine was sold primarily in northern Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the Vosges Mountains.

Bernardswiller lies on the Wine Route, and its vineyards are part of the village's history. As early as 1318, the vineyards surrounding the village were bequeathed to the Abbey of Niedermünster. Today, the vineyards cover 180 hectares. Because the area is relatively low in rainfall, the vines enjoy plenty of sunshine, which contributes to the excellent reputation of the local wines. A hike offers the full splendor of the landscape, with views of the surrounding castles, abbeys, villages, and towns.

The small, rather inconspicuous medieval village of Boersch, located on the Alsace Wine Route at the foot of Mont Sainte-Odile, is worth a visit. The village was first mentioned in 1109 as the property of the Abbey of Saint Leonard. In 1340, it was granted town charter and thus permission to build a city wall. The walls of the medieval town were repeatedly shaken by local uprisings and territorial disputes, but this did not prevent the town from flourishing in the 16th century before being devastated a century later in the Thirty Years' War.
