Wissembourg Things to Do Tips by travelfrosch

S'Bruch

The Quartier du Bruch, or S'Bruch, is an area of town featuring a very romantic canal. Stroll around, enjoy the scenery and architecture, and hug your partner. Unfortunately for me, my wife was thousands of miles away, so the area made me feel more lonely than romantic. Still, it is another pretty sight in a very attractive Alsatian town.

Directions: On the southwest side of town along the Lauter river.

Rampart Ramble

An enjoyable activity is to walk around the town walls. Start your stroll near the fortifications, or "Grabenloch," then just keep wandering. The path intersects streets at times, but it's pretty easy to follow the walls around. The most enjoyable area to view is along the Lauter.

Directions: Follow the signs to "Grabenloch," then follow the path.

L’Eglise Sts-Pierre-et-Paul

Near the center of town is L’Eglise Sts-Pierre-et-Paul, or The Church of Saints Peter and Paul. While modest in size, the interior is truly magnificent. Unfortunately, it is very dark inside and flash photography is not allowed, so the photos I took might not do it justice.

As with most churches in Europe, be aware this church is active with local worshipers, so make sure to enjoy the architecture with respect and in silence.

Address: avenue de la Sous-Préfecture - Wissembourg

Directions: In the center of town, not far from the main canal.
