The German Wine Gate in Silent-Rechenbach is accessible all year round and offers a beautiful all-round view. It is built in the style of a Roman fort. From a historical perspective, you should know that it was created in 1936 during National Socialism at the same time as the Wine Route. When looking at the Weintor from the French side, the former imperial eagle can still be seen; the obligatory swastika was subsequently knocked out. All too understandable. There are some very good winemakers in the surrounding area and it is highly recommended to try one or two wines.

Beautiful old town. The best way to explore is on foot, along the Circuit des Remparts (circular path above the city walls). If you don't want to walk, you can take the "Sightseeing Train" through the city. Departure is at the Tourist Information Office.

The view of the Rhine plain - with delicious Palatinate specialties - is ALWAYS part of our vacation for us. We have been coming to the Palatinate for many years and our very first trip has often been to Landeck!

Today we "slipped over" the German/French border to Wissembourg, one of the most beautiful towns in Alsace. Wissembourg, also known in German as Weissenburg, is located directly on the German-French border in Alsace. Directly on the banks of the Lauter River is the historic old town with its many half-timbered houses, which still characterize Wissembourg today. Some of them date back to the late Middle Ages. But the small town in Alsace looks back on a longer history. Above all, the monastery founded in the 7th century, which soon became an abbey, ensured a steadily growing settlement. Between the beginning of the 14th and the late 17th centuries, Wissembourg was one of the Alsatian imperial cities. The long history of the town, which has a population of just under 8,000, can be discovered on a leisurely stroll through the narrow streets. The old town is still surrounded by the remains of the old city fortifications. The towers of the Abbey Church of St. Peter and St. Paul are a defining feature of the historic center. They form the northern starting point of the Romanesque Road, which connects Romanesque monuments in Alsace. The predominantly Gothic Abbey Church of Saints-Pierre-et-Paul is one of the largest churches in the Bas-Rhin outside of Strasbourg. Also worth seeing are the 15th-century Salt House, the 16th-century Maison de l'ami Fritz, and the neoclassical town hall, a central work of Strasbourg's city architect Joseph Massol. Gourmets also appreciate Wissembourg: the town is home to several excellent restaurants, and the "Caves de Wissembourg" winery sells fresh Alsatian wine from the surrounding area. Due to its compact size, Wissembourg is best explored on foot, as we can happily confirm and recommend. It's truly worth it. We were very pleasantly surprised. 😉 https://www.geo.de/reisen/22484-rtkl-wissembourg-eins-der-schoensten-staedtchen-im-elsass

Small, romantic French town that invites you to linger with its half-timbered houses and many different restaurants. It's always fun to walk through the streets and experience the savoir-vivre of the French up close

An impressive building from a darker era in German history. It's the beginning or end of the German Wine Route and not far from Wissembourg. You can taste and purchase wine right there.

On August 4, 1870, Prussian troops defeated the French in the Battle of Weissenburg. Two well-kept monuments - one for the French and one for the German fallen - on the Geisberg on the Wissembourg-Riedseltz road commemorate the many fallen soldiers. Citizens from Wissembourg fought as soldiers on the French side. With the Peace of Frankfurt (1871), Alsace (with Wissembourg) and Lorraine were incorporated into the newly founded German Empire. From June 28, 1871 to 1918, the city was part of the Reichsland Alsace-Lorraine. After the First World War, the city was added to France along with Alsace under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. During the Second World War from 1940 to 1944/1945, the city and the country were annexed by the German Reich. In March 1945, the city and the surrounding area were captured by US troops as part of Operation Undertone. The city has been part of France again since 1945. Negotiations continued until 1990 regarding sovereignty over the Mundat Forest in the north of Wissembourg in the Palatinate.

The small town right on the border is very popular with tourists (rightly so). Here you will find everything you would expect in Alsace. Outside of the season and at weekends, it's really nice here.
