Obernai in the heart of Alsace is located directly on the Alsace Wine Route, at the foot of Mount Odilienberg, 25 km from Strasbourg and on the edge of the large agricultural plain with its sauerkraut fields. The town is a member of the association "Les Plus Beaux Détours de France", which brings together smaller tourist destinations that are a little off the main roads but are worth a detour. Obernai plays an important role in tourism in Alsace and is the second most visited town in the Bas-Rhin department.

Canal du Rhône au Rhin – Avenue of Plane Trees

Highlight • Cycleway

Absolutely worth seeing, there are 1,786 plane trees on the right and left of the canal on the route from Krafft to Strasbourg.
I didn't have to count them, they are numbered and each individual tree has a plaque with its number.

Covered Bridges

Highlight • Historical Site

Despite the disappearance of their roof in the 18th century, the Covered Bridges have kept their original name. They have preserved the beautiful towers which were attached to the fortifications of the former free imperial city of Strasbourg. Opposite, you can admire the Vauban dam built in the 17th century. To have a magnificent view of the bridges with the Grande Île and Strasbourg Cathedral in the background, do not hesitate to climb on Vauban's construction.

Pont du Faisan (Swing Bridge) – Petite France, Strasbourg

Highlight • Bridge

Built entirely of wood in the 14th century, today it is a movable steel and wood bridge that lets boats sailing on the Ill pass. It offers a superb view of the Strasbourg river and the magnificent half-timbered houses of the Petite France district.
