Beautiful to look at. In some cases you can read the year they were made... there are some that are already 400 years old.

What a pretty town. So many beautiful old houses, alleys and few tourists. It was really worth it despite the heat.

A little trip to Alsace with the seniors and little daughter!
Despite the mediocre weather, still a beautiful town. The Romanesque chapel was new to me.

On the way to the Palatinate Forest, we drive through Wissembourg (Weißenburg) in Alsace. A lovely, small, romantic town, the edge of the old town still needs some renovation here and there. Large parts of the old town are surrounded by a city wall. The Lauter River flows through the town; there are weirs here and there, and there used …

Wissembourg - always a pleasant place to visit, every time different.
Last time we visited it during a feast - lot of people, stands with food and drinks, music, noise ... it was great!
Today was the opposite - very few people on streets, calm and silence, extremely relaxing. Also very nice!

The picturesque town of Wissembourg is nestled in the north of Alsace, right behind the German border. Anyone who has strolled through this small town will hardly be able to escape the magic of this charming small town.

The old town with the "Le Bruch" quarter along the town wall and the old washhouse on the Lauter is worth seeing. …

Unfortunately I forgot to stop the recording, sorry. In between, the recording again recorded airlines - unfortunately.

Small town. What I found most beautiful was the city park along the old city wall. Then there are a few nice corners and houses in the old town.

Since we were nearby, we also went to Wissembourg.

I found a route on a tourist website that showed how to get through the entire "old town center"(?) without having to walk the same route twice.

Wahoo ran with us, but he can't seem to cope with running, the route looks like we were drunk.
