At the crossroads of the German and Latin worlds, the region’s historical heritage is lovingly nurtured and the European flag is proudly flown. In Northern Alsace, nature, the land and culture are all intricately linked. Here, a strong identity founded on an art of living is solidly preserved through festivals and traditions, including decorating the houses, villages and towns with a bounty of flowers earning Northern Alsace its top-ranking reputation in this field. A gastronomy famous worldwide, a remarkably rich historical heritage, a particularly warm welcome – Northern Alsace brings you all the best of the region in the most beautiful setting. To set off on a tour of discovery at your own pace, let your inspiration be your guide – fantastic surprises await you on every page you turn. When nature is synonymous with relaxation… Northern Alsace offers you a broad spectrum of landscapes: - the plain, bordered to the East by the Rhine, a mythical, majestic river - the foothills decked with vineyards producing vintage wines - the Vosges mountains, culminating at an altitude of 1,100 metres, with Mediaeval fortresses overlooking the green valleys… In summer, you can choose from a myriad bathing places and aquatic centres to go for a refreshing swim, and in winter the mountain peaks are an open invitation to go cross-country skiing, downhill skiing and rambling with snowshoes. With 6,500 km of signposted trails and 1,150 km of trails reserved for mountain bikes, Northern Alsace is a genuine paradise for sports and leisure activities.

The criss-cross pattern of the beams have symbolic shapes. A diamond shape symbolises fertility, a St. Andrew’s cross is for protection and multiplying (sometimes the diamond and cross are superimposed), slanted posts evoke the silhouette of a man and therefore virility. Inscriptions of Sun wheels and starry tulips with five or six branches protect the house from lightning, fire, witches and other evils. On the half-timbering and facades you can find sculpted figures and painted motifs. The steeply sloping roof (to evacuate snow) is made up of «Biberschwanz», roof tiles shaped like beaver tails. Inside, only the main room, the Stube, was heated as was the kitchen… Some experts claim that rather than being symbolic, each part of the halftimbering has above all a specific role to play in supporting the overall frame.

In a number of villages, red skirts are for Catholic costumes and green for Protestants (and more rarely blue or violet). Whereas the headdress is always black for a young Protestant girl, it can be plain red, embroidered with flowers or tartan for a Young Catholic girl. Generally speaking, the costume depends on the woman’s status, religious festivals and geographical location. 10 Festivals throughout the seasons Many traditions stem from trying to find the meaning of life or protections rituals. Christian festivals are still important events in village life throughout the region. But in Alsace, everything is a good excuse to have a good time throughout the four seasons of the year – harvest, grape-picking, patron saints’ days, craftwork, emptying the attic, local produce etc… Download the brochure «Schedule of events Alsace» on www.tourisme67.com See page 19. PAST AND PRESENT TRADITIONS ALL YEAR ROUND «Messtis» (from Messtag = day of the Mass) or Kilbe, are fete-days for the patron saints and annual fairs usually held in the Summer. Traditionally, they are held from Whitsun to the Autumn. Among other customs, a greasy pole is erected with sausages, hams, pretzels, bunches of vegetables and sweetmeats hanging from it. The young village lads compete against each other to try and grab them. These messtis are now giving way to another type of festival (flower-decorated cavalcades) and all sorts of other summer events. The Christmas cycle begins with Advent, four Sundays before Christmas Day. The Advent crown with its candles symbolises the coming of the light. The candles are lit one by one every Sunday. During this period, all sorts of Christmas biscuits are made («Wihnachtsbredle»). The Christmas tree tradition is really a part of Alsace with the first one ever mentioned being in 1521 in Sélestat! Originally, it was decorated with red apples, wafers, paper roses, biscuits and candles. As to offering presents, the Protestant movement in Strasbourg transferred the event from St Nicholas’ Day to Christmas Eve in 1570. Easter to Whitsun Easter traditions were initially references to acts of purification with spring cleaning («Oschterputz»), and a dish of green vegetables and herbs served on Maundy Thursday («Gründunnerschda»). Nature being renewed and coming back to life is associated with Easter Sunday. The cake in the shape of an Easter lamb symbolises the Risen Christ. The Easter rabbit and his eggs are a celebration of the springtime and fertility. On 1st May, it was traditional to plant decorated green shrubs («Maïe») as a promise of love and esteem, and to celebrate the May Queens, young girls who were the messengers of Spring. Whitsun was a time for rituals linked with the vitality of Nature, personified by the Whitsun valets, hirsute figures made out of straw and green plants. Autumn and winter After the grain harvests, October is the month of grapepicking. In the old days, as Winter crept in, the evening gatherings would begin. Several families would gather round the ceramic stove («Kachelofe») and various tasks carried out – repairing tools, spinning hemp, cracking walnuts and beechnuts… with all the generations together, telling anecdotes and recounting legends. Saint Martin’s Day marked the end of the economic year. A procession with lanterns is still part of the customs today in the Rhineland. In Alsace, beets – not pumpkins - were carved out and lit. It is said that the light paved the way for St. Nicholas’ donkey.. Carnival marks the coming of Spring and the temporary reversal of the social order. Flaming disk throwers («Schieweschlawe»), a very old ritual game, still exists in some villages (Offwiller, Wintzenheim/Kochersberg). . Saint-Jean bonfires At the beginning of Summer, Saint-Jean bonfires, relics of Summer solstice festivals, still burn and light up the skies in Alsace. www.tourisme67.com 11 11 A rich heritage and culture still very much alive Influenced by many cultures, Northern Alsace bears witness to the historical role of the Rhine basin. You can relive the era of the gallant knights by visiting the numerous castles. Travel through time and relive the legends of the builders of the myriad churches, chapels and historical buildings. Let the excitement of these eras take you away – not forgetting the countless museums catering for all tastes and the more conventional sites to explore. Strasbourg, the 7th ranking town in France, listed as part of the world heritage by UNESCO, offers you 2000 years of history, an exceptionally imposing, yet delicately carved Cathedral and many other exciting places to visit. Strasbourg became the Capital of Europe in the wake of the second world war, and today is a symbol of the reconciliation between nations. Tourist routes At your own pace, you can wend your way through the roads of Alsace and find delightful surprises at every turn. The most famous is the Wine Route, but other itineraries are just as exciting. Download the tourist routes on www.tourisme67.com ALSACE WINE ROUTE + - 150 km The Wine Route is a serpentine ribbon which runs from along the eastern slopes of the Vosges mountains, tranquilly unfolding along the mountain side, crossing through sixty winegrowing towns and villages and around fifteen vintage vineyards «A.O.C. Alsace Grand cru» in Northern Alsace. www.vinsalsace.com RHINE ROUTE + - 140 km The mythical River Rhine is a magnet for many who come just to contemplate the flowing currents. It enters Alsace just downstream of Basel and leaves the region at Lauterbourg. In the 8th and 9th centuries, boatmen were already sailing down the Rhine to the North Sea to sell wine to the English, Danes and Swedes. In former times, the Rhine flooded the plain, but at the end of the 19th century, extensive works were undertaken to regulate the course of the river. BEYOND THE FOREST TO THE NORTHERN VOSGES + - 170 km Beyond the forest of Haguenau lies a region bordered to the East by the Rhine and to the West by the Regional Nature Park of the Northern Vosges. It is a land of hills, dales and forests, the main tourist attraction being the picturesque villages and potters’ villages, spas, castles and the Maginot Line. FROM THE VOSGES MOUNTAINS TO THE RIED PLAIN + - 260 km The middle Vosges culminate at an altitude of between 900 and 1,100 metres. Easy to access, the excellent road network means you can reach the mountain meadows and wooded heights via the mountain passes or visit the deep valleys. In addition to the more usual places to visit, this region stretching out under the open skies offers plenty of opportunities for sports and leisure activities: walks, hikes, mountain bike circuits, downhill skiing and crosscountry skiing etc. NORTHERN VOSGES – ALSACE BOSSUE + - 210 km Along the roads of Pays de Hanau, the Regional Nature Park of the Northern Vosges and Alsace Bossue (the «Hunchback» of Alsace), there is a succession of typical, majestic farms, solid stone churches and mansions, followed by the vastness of the Vosges forest and finally a landscape and architecture typical of Lorraine. What’s more, sites bearing witness to the Jewish heritage and the brewing heritage in Alsace abound along this itinerary. Visiting the towns To find out everything about a site or historical event, you can benefit from the knowledge of a professional guide.

Romanesque art was practised extensively over a long period of time and is characterised by some remarkable monastic churches. Enhanced by the growth of the towns, the apotheosis of Gothic art is found in Strasbourg Cathedral. After the Thirty Years’ War, superb edifices were built such as Ebersmunster, in flamboyant Baroque style. In a number of villages, there are two churches, reflecting the presence of both Catholic and Protestant communities. Furthermore, the density of rural synagogues still present today demonstrate how extensive the Jewish community has been since the Middle Ages. The Concordat regime specific to Alsace and Moselle has contributed to these three faiths being so firmly rooted here. The French Law of 1905 introducing the separation of the Church and the State does not in fact concern the region, which was annexed to Germany at the time. Today, Alsace remains the most multidenominational region of France. churches Catholic (c) Protestant (p) places of worship ALSACE BOSSUE (p) Churches built by the architect Stengel in HARSKIRCHEN, BERG and SARRE-UNION +33 (0)3 88 00 40 39 www.tourisme.alsace-bossue.net ALTENSTADT (c) Saint Ulrich Romanesque church +33 (0)3 88 94 10 11 www.ot-wissembourg.fr ANDLAU (c) Saints Pierre and Paul Abbey – Romanesque style - legend of the she-bear of St. Richarde. +33 (0)3 88 08 22 57 www.pays-de-barr.com AVOLSHEIM (c) Romanesque church Dompeter +33 (0)3 88 49 89 11 14 BALDENHEIM (p) Church - painted Mediaeval decor. +33 (0)3 88 85 31 30 +33 (0)3 88 85 32 11 BERG (c) Chapelle du Kirchberg +33 (0)3 88 00 40 39 www.tourisme.alsace-bossue.net DAMBACH-LA-VILLE (c) Saint Sébastien Chapel – remarkable wooden Baroque altar. +33 (0)3 88 92 61 00 www.pays-de-barr.com EBERSMUNSTER (c) Abbey-church - the master-piece in the Baroque style in Alsace. +33 (0)3 88 85 78 32 EPFIG (c) Romanesque chapel Sainte Marguerite +33 (0)3 88 85 50 39 ESCHAU (c) Saint Trophime – Romanesque church - monastery garden. +33 (0)3 88 64 03 76 HAGUENAU (c) – Saint Georges Church – Romanesque and Gothic styles - remarkable pyx – Saint Nicolas Church – remarkable wooden panelling. +33 (0)3 88 93 70 00 www.ville-haguenau.fr KUHLENDORF (p) Rare half-timbered church. +33 (0)3 88 54 44 92 MARMOUTIER (c) Abbey-church - the last Romanesque abbey to be inspired by Carolingian and Ottonian architecture. +33 (0)3 88 71 46 84 www.paysdemarmoutier.com MOLSHEIM (c) Jesuit Church.
