Munster

Munster is in the Haut-Rhin department of the Alsace region, about 15km to the west of Colmar.

A pleasant, if unexciting, town Munster has a few monuments to discover during a visit. These include the 11th century 'Lion fountain' and the ruins of the medieval abbey, the town hall, and the churches - one protestant, one catholic. There are also some impressive houses around the town and in the surrounding countryside.

The town is most reputed for the cheese of the same name that is produced in the verdant valley around Munster and is one of the gastronomic delights of the Alsace.

The town is at the end of the 'Route des Cretes' - a very beautiful route across the Vosges Mountains, and is a popular starting point for many hikes in the region.

Time permitting, also visit the nearby pretty village of Eschbach au Val, and the chateaux at Pflixbourg and Schwarzenbourg.
