Traditional villages: Obernai

A popular tourist location on the road to Mont Sainte Odile

With its storks, its half-timbered houses and its flower-decked streets, Obernai provides a very complete snapshot of life in Alsace. This is one of the few Alsatian villages to have retained its ancient fortifications, including its ramparts and its towers. Completed in the 13th century, the double outer wall was defended by some 30 towers, most of which have disappeared over the years.

Obernai today

The ramparts today provide visitors with an attractive walk under the lime and chestnut trees. The marketplace surrounded by houses with balconies, the former grain hall and other period monuments bear witness to the importance of this town in times gone by. Situated within easy reach of the Vosges, the town of Obernai is definitely a "must-see" attraction for tourists heading towards Mont Sainte Odile. This is also a leading culinary centre, boasting numerous winstubs and restaurants.
