레기스하임‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪4‬개의 천연기념물

Nothing to do with Munster, indeed. This is the Noble Valley; the villages are Soultzmatt and, in the distance, Westhalten.

This isn't the Munster valley, but rather the Soultzmatt valley 🙂

For several years now, the reintroduction of storks on the territory of the municipality of Soultz-Haut-Rhin has been a fact: the chimneys are now populated by these birds again. You can watch them for hours.

The Langenstein menhir (a 4-meter-high long stone) was erected in 1904 by a Soultzmatt industrialist, who recognized this block as an overturned menhir. Legend tells that on full moon nights, fairies, or White Ladies, come to dance around the Langenstein. During this ceremony, the stone is said to begin spinning!

The sandstone Grossfels (Big Rock) peaks 400m above Soultzmatt

Grossfels means big rock. The Grossfels overlooks Soultzmatt at an altitude of 400m. It is made of pudding stoneware. From a simplistic explanation it is Sandstone encrusted with pebbles. The access trail, although easy on foot, requires fairly good mountain biking technique. There are many hairpins and rocky steps.

Langstein means long stone. According to scientists, the block was extracted approximately 1km from its location. Its erection dates from the Celtic period, around 560 BC. It was rediscovered in 1904 lying on the ground by Fritz Keller, an industrialist from the region. It was straightened in 1906. A host of legends are linked to this Menhir. Listing them here would be too long.

Impressive sandstone quarries with a beautiful, winding forest path.
