​

1. Strasbourg – The capital of Alsace

Walk along the Ill banks and through the former tanners’ quarter “Petite France”, probably the most charming quarter of Strasbourg. Or climb the 332 steps of the Cathedral of Our Lady (Goethe fought his fear of heights!) and enjoy the fantastic view over the city. To top it off, you can take a boat trip on the Ill River and sail from the jetty at Rohan Castle to the European Quarter.

​

2. Obernai & Mont Sainte-Odile

Not far from Strasbourg, discover the charming wine town of Obernai.

Enjoy a tarte flambée at the “Place du Marché”.

Drive by camper or bike to one of the most impressive destinations in the Vosges: Mont Sainte-Odile. Once at the top, you will be rewarded with a great view over the Alsatian plain.

​

3. Hohkönigsburg

Sometimes in German, sometimes in French hands: in the restored Hohkönigsburg, you can see traces of its eventful history everywhere. It’s an excellent destination for families with children, as there are actors around who bring the old knightly times to life.

​

4. Along the wine route: wine villages and winegrowers

Just let yourself drift along the wine route. In almost all Alsatian villages, you can go wine tasting and enjoy the sweet life. These villages are particularly popular and beautiful: Ribeauvillé, Hunawihr, Riquewihr and Kaysersberg.
 

​

5. Colmar

The charming “Petite Venice” district is a must on a tour of Colmar. You can also explore the labyrinth of canals by barge. Stops at the numerous cafés and restaurants are just as much a part of a visit to Colmar as to the Unterlinden Museum.
 

​

6. Lac Blanc: Hiking, forest climbing & barefoot trails

Take the road towards the Munster Valley from Colmar, and you will reach the Vosges after a few kilometres. Around Lac Blanc, you will find a wide range of leisure activities. The area around the lake is a paradise for hikers.

7. Route of the Ridges: Col de la Schlucht, Honeck, Grand Ballon

Follow the Vosges Ridge Road (Route des Crêtes) if winding mountain roads don’t scare you. The mountain road leads you through beautiful mountain landscapes and magnificent views. You will pass the “Col de la Schlucht” and reach the Honeck massif, known for its beautiful hikes. You can also visit the “Grand Ballon”. You can leave the camper and make your way to the 1424-metre-high summit of the mountain peak, and if the visibility is good, you can see as far as the Alps!

​

8. Hartmannswillerkopf Memorial & Ecomusée Alsace

If you find a campsite near Wattwiller, you can visit the impressive “Hartmannswillerkopf” memorial site on the last day, where the trenches from World War I have recently been opened to the public. For families with children, a full-day excursion to the open-air museum “Ecomusée Alsace” is also worthwhile, where, among other things, storks still nest on the houses – the symbol of Alsace.
