On a budget
On a tight budget or a conscientious traveller? Pays de Colmar offers routes with minimal spending requirements. Treat your tastebuds at the covered market of Colmar, Saint-Alphonse brewery in Vogelgrun or Chocolaterie Stoffel in Ribeauvillé. Viewing pleasure is also free if you stop by the art glassworks studio of Kaysersberg or Monsieur Bosshardt’s wood carving workshop in Thannenkirch. Open the doors of the churches, take the three castles overlooking Ribeauvillé by storm, walk along the Neuf-Brisach ramparts or climb gently up to Kaysersberg castle. The impregnable and breathtaking views over Lac Blanc from Faudé Tower in Lapoutroie or Mandelberg hill are memorable, photogenic moments and are totally free. Finally, the Hohneck summit and its surroundings are must-see sights for walking enthusiasts.
