First mention of the chapel in 1598, then new construction 1621-23. Destruction under the revolution, then reconstruction in 1816. Frescoes painted in 1950.

Former Hirtzbach station

This former station is now private property. That said, observing its charming exterior transports you to a bygone era.

The line from Altkirch to Ferrette is a former railway line. It was put into service in 1892 and was closed in 1968, then rehabilitated as a greenway in the 1990s.

Cycle path along the Ill in Altkirch

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This beautiful cycle path starts from Altkirch and runs along the Ill for a few moments. It's very soothing to pedal with the rustle of the river as a soundtrack!
