Obernai, birthplace of Ste-Odile, the patron saint of Alsace, combines a rich historical heritage (Six Seaux well, Church of St-Peter and Paul, cornhall) and high-class culinary tradition.
A few miles away, Mount Ste-Odile offers a superb panoramic view of the Alsation plain. Further south, Haut-Koenigsbourg, a magnificent 12th century castle towers majestically over 800 metres above the ground.
Not far away, Sélestat, the capital of humanism in the Renaissance, has one of the rare libraries still in existence devoted to this movement, as well as a very appealing old quarter (around the Churches of Ste-Foi and St-George).
