During our Viking River Cruise’ “Rhine Getaway” journey, our ship docked at Breisach. We then took a ship’s shore excursion to visit “Musee du Memorial des Combats de la Poche de Colmar”. The museum had excellent exhibits, showing the history of the fierce battles between the advancing American & French armies and the defending German army from December 1944 to February 1945 when American & French armies liberated the Colmar Pocket. Upon entering the museum gate, we were met by an artillery piece in a nice courtyard. We then walked to the wall with a plaque, commemorating the 50 the anniversary of the liberation of Turckheim Village by French Army 1st Battalion and U.S. Army 112th Regiment/28th Division. After hearing our excellent tour guide’s concise and precise briefing of the history of the Battle of Colmar Pocket, we entered the museum building. There, we were greeted by surprisingly elaborate exhibits of weapons and equipments used by the armies on both sides. We were even more impressed by the exhibits of strikingly realistic replicas of American and German soliders in their battle situations, which brought the entire exhibits to life. Just by looking at the solmn faces of those soldiers on exhibits, we could feel their tension, anxiety, determination and perseverance. We were tremendously moved by the exhibits which were even more effective in history telling than many well-versed history tellers. This museum is a must visit place during a visit to Colmar area.

This was our first experience visiting the Alsace Wine Route. We decided to visit Cave de Turckheim as it was in a location outside of the villages that seem to attract most tourists. We had a pleasant wine tasting experience and although we are not wine connoisseurs, we found the wines to be excellent. As an added bonus, after leaving the Cave de Turkheim, the road north took us through beautiful vineyards that further added to the pleasure of our experience along the Alsace Wine Route.

A beautiful entrance to Turckheim, a picturesque village in the Alsace wine region. Incredible to see complete towers. A big bonus that visitor have to park outside the village, so you can get some lovely photos.

Lovely small church with a surprising interior. I loved the light and pretty interior and feel it melds well with the pretty, colourful village.
