Kaysersberg
Kaysersberg, between Riquewihr and Colmar, is in the Haut-Rhin department of the Alsace region.
It is generally considered to be one of the finest of the Alsace vilages, and has an impressive medieval centre.
The town has retained its ramparts and medieval fortified bridge, a 12th century chateau (now in ruins) that stands above Kaysersberg, and many pretty half-timbered houses, typical of the region.
The town was also the birthplace of Albert Schweitzer, winner of the Nobel Peace prize, whose life is commemmorated in the town cultural centre.
Note: be sure to sample the local wine - Tokay - during your visit.
Kaysersberg is on the Alsace Wine Route
