슐레트슈타트 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Very pretty town with beautiful houses.

Selestat

We could not visit the chapel because the walkway to it was flooded.

Normally the Oberriedgraben is not so full of water and does not flow so strongly.

1st suspension bridge of 2 that you have to cross one at a time. Since there was frost on it, you could almost slide across it.

The Tour Neuve, also called the bell tower or knight's tower, is a remnant of the second enclosure built in 1280. Originally, the New Tower consisted of a crenellated terrace, decorated at the four corners with hexagonal watchtowers. A front door, a kind of open-air vestibule, formed a first defense and sheltered the drawbridge. A door pierced in the tower at the level of the rampart provided communication between the defenders of the advance and those of the enclosure. With the development of artillery at the beginning of the 17th century, the tower underwent changes. A second masonry has been built on the terrace, set slightly back, on which four watchtowers rest. In 1891, the Tour Neuve was hit by a fire that destroyed part of the district and left it without a roof for months. If you visit the New Tower there are several frescoes to admire. One represents some city businesses in the Middle Ages, the other a scene of hunting and the grape harvest. The vault depicts the lion of Sélestat and the Habsburg eagle.

Grown-ups look back to their childhood here. Children with bright lights in their eyes enjoy the moment. Everyone happy 😉

Beautiful single trail to the suspension bridge.
