トラエンハイムの洞窟・トップ5

Dachstein lies off the main roads in Alsace and is therefore less developed for tourism. The village nevertheless boasts some noteworthy buildings, such as: the medieval city gate, the Porte de la Bruche, the Church of St. Martin (Église Saint-Martin), which still retains Gothic elements, a nave, and a Baroque altar; the Renaissance castle (extended in the 19th century in the Neo-Renaissance style) of the de Turckheim family, the Château de Turckheim, or the Vieux Château. It was formerly a summer residence for some of the bishops of Strasbourg; the old washhouse, and the Château Hervé Bourcart, or "La Magnanerie." It is located closer to the village center and was built in 1750 as a private villa that housed the royal silkworm breeding school. It has been owned by the Hervé family since 1838. In the 1990s, the castle and its idyllic surroundings served as the setting for the film saga "The Alsatians." Magnan is an Occitan word meaning mulberry. The Magnanerie is the headquarters of a silkworm farm. The streets of Dachstein are lined with several traditional half-timbered houses, some with carved wooden galleries.

Beautiful entrance to Dachstein lovingly decorated for Easter

The ruins were not accessible when we visited.

Discovered on a short hike around Mutzig, unfortunately there was no time left to enter. But we would like to come back again

The Fort Mutzig, vmls. Position de Mutzig, (Eng.: Feste Kaiser Wilhelm II) is not only worth a visit, but one of many places in Alsace that bear witness to the eventful history of the region. Here you can find out in an impressive way what incredible resources were used for this, in this case with the construction of the largest fortification in the German Reich. From my point of view, this example of Franco-German history is therefore a "must-have-seen".

Nice to look at from the outside, you also have a nice view of the valley, the village below looks like a toy, but access to the castle is denied - restoration work. January 2023.

Named after the two municipalities below, Niederhaslach and Oberhaslach, this low-altitude wooded ridge is a delight for trail runners. Passing through the castles of Grand and Petit Ringelsberg, it offers a straight path, neither too technical nor too rolling, perfect for gauging its form.
