Highlight • Historical Site

The small town of Wissembourg owes its charm to many things, but the traditional half-timbered houses are particularly remarkable. Take the time to stroll around and appreciate the colorful streets that stand out beautifully amidst the vineyards.

April 22, 2025,Grenzlandtour vom malerischen Wissembourg zum Deutschen Weintor in Schweigen-Rechtenbach (RB Wissembourg – RB Wissembourg)

[Hiking on April 11th]

From the Wissembourg train station, located just outside the city center, the Lauter River accompanies me into the old center of this tranquil Alsatian town. Medieval houses and the Church of St. Peter and Paul with a small Romanesque chapel bear witness to centuries past. From here, a circular hiking trail marked with a red circle …

I really liked this route: at just under 10 km and with relatively little elevation gain, it's a great excursion that has everything: great views from the vineyards, a nice place to stop for a bite to eat in Wissembourg. A short but lovely hike. Easily doable in 2.5 hours!

Today the first hike from Wissembourg along beautiful half-timbered houses, along the Lauter and then the climb into the vineyards. Along the Château of St. Paul to Schweigen-Rechtenbach to the German Wine Gate. Here every winemaker had a wine bottle vending machine. Unfortunately most of the paths between the vineyards are asphalted.

April 13, 2025,Besuch in Wissembourg

Today, Flex took me to Wissembourg without changing trains and pretty much on time.
A beautiful little town with plenty of half-timbered houses and old buildings.
The Lauter River adds a special charm.
Combined with a short hike, it was a perfect day.

Today Oli, Lotta and I were traveling to France. Since none of us have been to Wissembourg yet, today was a wonderful opportunity. We spent a lot of time traveling through the vineyards and we also really liked the pretty little town.
Rebert's treats are really great. I haven't eaten such delicious eclair in a long time.
We stocked up …
