along the banks of the Weiss - Kaysersberg

While based in Colmar we decided to take a 1/2 day tour of the wine villages, Kayserberg being one of them. There are 100 in total, we only stopped briefly at 3 and drove through a few more. While we barely touched on these quaint little villages, we at least experienced the flavor of these medeival towns surrounded by vineyards.

Kaysersberg is built along the banks of the Weiss River which only adds to its beauty and is nestled upon foothills. It is also the birthplace of Albert Schweitzer who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1952.

Events: In December they host a medieval market.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Quaint, charming and beautiful
