Our estate is located 20 km from Strasbourg, in the north of the alsatian vineyard: a long cherished jewel for the great white wines it produces. Wine-growing activities have been recorded in the family since 1842. The estate really took off in the seventies and the production of wine by Paul Boehler, who acquired the most beautiful historical plots on the heights of Molsheim. The Grand Cru Bruderthal, once cultivated by the Cistercian monks or the place called « Pfann », claimed by the Jesuits are notorious examples of the importance of this wonderful place. Currently led by Rene Boehler, the property strives year to year, to develop its wines thanks to the technological knowledge and know-how acquired during the last decades, passed down within the family from generation to generation. For the purpose of obtaining the best quality, the harvesting are exclusively done by hand and the winemaking process is traditionnal. Fermentation starts with wild yeasts. Daily tastings during winemaking allow us to stay closer to each of our cuvee, for a greater aromatic purity. All this care given through the vinification process is fundamental to obtain high quality products, to always provide a new pleasure of drinking our wines. We invite you to discover our wines, that reflects unique terroirs and a modern vision of traditional « savoir-faire ».
Had a small tour of the winery. Very friendly people! The wine tasting was absolutely fantastic. I would highly recommend not to drive as parking but also you might get a little lightheaded ????. Highly worth while!

This huge cathedral, Strasbourg's most famous landmark, is an intimidating example of 13th-century Gothic architecture.
From your first glimpse of the magnificent structure from blocks away to the breath-taking view when you enter the square surrounding this gigantic almost-eerie Gothic monument, it is truly overwhelming and awe-inspiring. My opinion is that it surpasses it's namesake - Notre Dame in Paris. Inside, the huge rose window, the pipe organ, the astrological clock all are simply amazing - especially when you consider they are all 5 or 6 centuries old.

This museum explores the historic culture of Strasbourg and the rest of Alsace through exhibits of clothing and other household artifacts.
This was a great museum to show example of the Alsacien area and period. The exhibits brought to life the life-style and daily activities of the people in a real life setting. A very worth while museum and worth a visit for sure!

Strasbourg's historic neighborhood is a serene collection of cobblestone roads, fine restaurants and 16th-century buildings.
Strasbourg's historic district La Petite France is gorgeous, complete with canals, bridges and half-timbered architecture.Just what you would expect to see in a "Once Upon A Time" fairy tale. Don't miss this area when in Strasbourg.

Site officiel de l'ancien camp de concentration de Natzweiler-Struthof, le seul camp nazi sur le territoire français, alors en Alsace annexée
This is a beautiful location with a horrific history. I think this is one of the lesser known concentration camps but it is worth a visit. It is set on a fairly steep slope which was an additional problem for those interned here. There is a film in the main building as well as information about other camps. On the site itself there are only a few barracks left, including one used for "experiments" on the prisoners where there is also a gas chamber and a cremation oven. Off the main site there is another gas chamber in what used to be a hall used for parties. It is thought-provoking and shocking that over 20,000 people perished here. I don't consider this would be a suitable visit for younger children.

This fairy tale castle looks down majestically across the Alsace plain for more then 850 years. Towering at 757 m over picture perfect villages and colourful vineyards, it is one of France's most widely visited castles. Restored in the early 20th century, its current state reflects how it looked in the 15th century. Passing the main gate of the impressive Haut-Koenigsbourg is to enter the medieval world. An enjoyable and breathtaking experience! The castle is open all year round except 1 January, 1 May, 10 July (Tour de France 2019) and 25 December.
If you go in Alsace this is one of the things to see on that trip. A restored castle on top of a beautiful hill, where from you can see the surrounding vineyards Beautiful

If you like owls and eagles, THIS is the place for you. Experience birds of prey as never before. La volerie des aigles is more than a bird show, it teaches you about the species, supports conservation efforts and keeps some of these amazing species alive. One of the oldest shows with birds of prey in France, and of the first to lead in conservation efforts, the volerie des aigles also offers you a unique opportunity to be - albeit for a brief moment - a handler of one of these beautiful birds during the show (also kids with the smaller birds). You'll leave with stars in your eyes. bonus: the setting is gorgeous.

And it IS an interesting story. We knew nothing of the city's history other than it came French at some point. This nicely organized museum puts meat on that bone. Strasbourg's history as a free city, effectively a republic, until Louis XIV made it French, is a remarkable story. Definitely worth a visit.

We love castles and we love ruins so this castle ruin did not disappoint at all! This one has been on our list for a couple years and we finally made the trip down. Just incredible all around. From the easy parking to starting up the hill to the base there was information being taught. You learn about how they made charcoal. The base camp had a nice souvenir store and cafe. We payed to play a game with the kids on our way to the castle and had a great time! I highly suggest doing the Castle of Challenges with Hugo game! We all had fun finding clues and solving the questions on the “long way” up. When we got to the castle, it was very impressive. Information boards everywhere about the area and the game continues to teach you and continue the fun! Incredible views from the top! Such a cool castle! When you finish your game be sure you make time to check your answers back at the P’tit Fleck and get a fun picture taken as your prize! Wear good shoes for climbing as the sandstone and stairs are a little slippery. Also if you have a full day, you can hike to 3 other castles close by which we will do next time. Another quick fact we found interesting as we are living in Heidelberg and love our castle there, the French general responsible for the destruction of Fleckenstein is also responsible for the complete destruction of the surrounding castles and Heidelberg castle.
