Niedermorschwihr

Highlight • Other

Niedermorschwihr is a charming and colourful wine village in Alsace, nestled on the slopes of the Vosges Mountains among the vineyards, just a few kilometres from Colmar. The village is known for its traditional half-timbered houses, narrow streets and especially the unique twisted tower of the Saint-Gall-et-Saint-Wendelin church – a rare architectural phenomenon in the region. Niedermorschwihr is also home to the famous “jam queen” Christine Ferber, whose preserves are loved worldwide. Thanks to its location on the Route des Vins, it is an atmospheric and authentic stop on a cycle route through Alsace.

View of Wineck Castle and Katzenthal

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Castle Wineck, also Weineck or (falsely) Windeck (French Château de Wineck or Château du Wineck), is the ruin of a late Romanesque hillside in the Alsace department of Haut-Rhin. Standing on a rocky plateau, it towers over 330 meters high above NN the small village Katzenthal five kilometers northwest of Colmar. It is the only Alsatian castle in the midst of vineyards, whence its name comes from: Wineck means "Weineck". The surrounded granite vineyard Wineck-Schlossberg produces a Riesling and is one of the Alsatian top wines (Alsace Grand Cru).
