Of all the landscapes on the Alsace Vineyard Cycle Route, the arrival in Dambach-la-Ville offers one of the most beautiful views. In the middle of the vineyards, the historic center stands beautifully with the Rhine plain as a backdrop.

Nice, quiet cycle path, a good alternative to the country road, but you have to accept a few more meters of elevation.

It marks the Via Salinorum, the Salt Road which allowed the transport of the salaries of the Roman legionaries.

The Saint-Georges church has preserved its powerful Romanesque bell tower with twin bays. Its crowning with four corner watchtowers dates from 1530, made entirely of chestnut wood, and was probably used as a lookout. The nave and chancel were built in 1759 and have virtually original furnishings. To see in particular inside: - The Silbermann organ from 1765, very little altered, classified and restored in 1973, - The very beautiful processional cross in rosewood veneered and inlaid with mother-of-pearl, dated 1763, coming from the Franciscan convent of Sélestat, - An incomplete Holy Sepulcher from the end of the 15th century: the dead Christ is lying on a slab and three holy women are standing behind him in a painful attitude. Two guards accompany the whole, - Tombstones of bailiffs of Châtenois (from the 16th to the 18th century). - Four polychrome paintings in relief, strongly inspired by the engravings of Albrecht Dürer. Two of them, made around 1520, are integrated into the altarpieces of the secondary altars of the 18th century: the Assumption and the coronation of the Virgin, the birth of the Virgin. The other two, also from the beginning of the 16th century, are placed in 18th century frames (second pillar of the nave): the Nativity, the Adoration of the Magi

Located on the Alsace Wine Route about 6km from Sélestat, Scherwiller, the capital of Riesling, stands proudly in the heart of Piedmont. Renowned for its wines, particularly Riesling, Scherwiller has 370 hectares of vineyards, which places the village in the top three of the largest municipalities in the Bas-Rhin department in terms of wine-growing area. Come and meet the winegrowers who are passionate about their profession and who will pass on their know-how and offer you a tasting of their best vintage. The village is crossed by the Aubach, a river dotted with a hundred wash houses. The site listed since December 4, 1969 is worth a visit for a dive into history. Stroll along its quays, cross the small stone bridges and stop to discover the remains of the old wash houses where the washerwomen came to wash their clothes. In the summer, these wash houses come back to life in the theatre show on Rue des Lavandières, where scenes from rural village life are performed, in French and Alsatian. Along the Aubach, admire the typical half-timbered houses, dating from the 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Beautifully coloured, they are generally half-timbered for the upper floors and made of cut stone on the ground floor. A mixture of tradition and modernity that will amaze you.

Beautiful landscape to enjoy. The grade isn't too steep, and it isn't a terrible demanding bike section.

Impressive example of medieval town construction. Very well preserved for its age as well.

The landscape and the views are like something from a painting or a great novel!

Great cycling route through the vineyards. Overall well-maintained and do-able with road bikes as well as off-road bikes.

Absolutely beautiful place! So much character and wonderful architecture to enjoy.

Very picturesque place with many historic buildings.

https://youtu.be/_f9__aJQzoI The meanders of the Aubach, still punctuated by five wash houses, give Scherwiller incredible charm. The center of the village is full of beautiful winegrowers' houses, with their emblazoned pink sandstone porches and their half-timbered facades from the 15th and 18th centuries. Note the Guardhouse House, a superb building with an oriel window and sculpted balcony (17th century). A stone's throw away, at number 35 rue de la Mairie, admire the Tonnelier farm (18th century), its cart door, its half-timbered floor with corbelling and its ornate corner post. On the heights of Scherwiller sleep the ruins of the Ramstein and Ortenburg castles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_02OzZ1L-8U Suggestion for visiting cellars in Scherwiller: https://www.domainedussourt.com/visite/8-degustation-caveau https://www.achillee.vin/achillee.vin/ https://www.frey-sohler.com/

Video in German language: https://youtu.be/SE8Fn2OXpCY At the beginning of the 16th century, the Holy Roman Empire experienced a wave of local revolts (the Bundschuhe: "laced shoes", a symbol chosen in opposition to the lordly spurred boot), fomented by the peasantry against the regime. feudal. From June 1524, these sporadic revolts took on the magnitude of a real general war which broke out throughout the south, west and center of the Empire. The Peasants' War or "Russians' War" lasted until May 15, 1525, the date of the death of the leader and preacher Thomas Müntzer, at the Battle of Frankenhausen; although in reality, uprisings were recorded in the Austrian Alps until 1526. It is here, at the foot of the Ramstein and Ortenbourg castles, on these meadows surrounded by vineyards, that the Battle of Scherwiller took place on the evening of May 20, 1525. Nearly 35,000 men faced off in a pitched battle without pity between the Franco-Lorraine troops and the Alsatian militias of the Bundschuh. After several hours of combat, the army of Duke Antoine de Lorraine was once again victorious. There were five hundred killed (estimated figure) in the Franco-Ducal expeditionary force, and at least four thousand in the coalition of fifteen to twenty thousand peasant insurgents present. A local legend says that the bones of the victims of the repression of Duke Antoine de Lorraine during the Rustauds revolt are in the ossuary of the Saint-Sébastien chapel in Dambach: Above the gate which today prevents access to the interior of the ossuary is a sandstone plaque bearing a quote which leaves any visitor wondering: “Was Ihr seid, sind wir gewesen - Was wir sind, werdet ihr werden What you are, we were - What we are, you will become”

Here, this column is a cylindrical terminal with a diameter of 25 cm. It is 2m high. It undoubtedly indicated the next villages and the names of the donors or patrons of the road. https://www.lieux-insolites.fr/basrhin/scherwiller/scherwiller.htm
