Obernai
Obernai is in the Bas-Rhin department of the Alsace region, 25km south of Strasbourg.
A picture postcard pretty town, Obernai has lots of delightful medieval houses lining the narrow streets and open plazas, all set within the original ramparts of the town. The Rue des Pelerins (Pilgrim's Street) is perhaps the highlight.
The greatest miracle of the town is how well it escaped damage during WWI and WWII, and much of the town appears unchanged from its heyday in the 15th and 16th centuries.
Apart from the houses and their sometimes attractive patterned tiled rooves, other notable highlights of Obernai include the clocktower and an ancient well, the numerous towers that form parts of the ramparts, the old wheat market, and the ruins of the Abbey Truttenhausen.
The town is also well situated to explore the vineyards of the region.
Obernai is on the Alsace Wine Route
