Hunawihr travel guide

Hunawihr is in the Haut-Rhin department of the Alsace region near Ribeauvillé.

A stroll from Ribeauvillé, Hunawihr is a very small pretty village set in the Alsace vineyards, dominated by its picture postcard 14th centre church - the Church of St-Jacques-le-Majeur which is surrounded by a cemetery enclosed by a fortified wall and holes through which guns can be fired.

See also the 16th century town hall and the 17th century town fountain and source (water supply).

Close by to Hunawihr is the centre for the reintroduction the stork in Alsace - an important attempt to slow the decline in the 'trademark' bird of the region. Otters are also raised at the centre, and the 12 acre countryside park can be explored on foot following a guided route.

Next to the stork centre there is a botanical centre in which hundreds of butterflies, including many exotic species, can be seen in their natural environment.
