Turckheim
Turckheim is 2km west of Colmar at the base of the Vosges mountains, in the Haut-Rhin department of the Alsace region.
With origins dating back to Roman times and before, it is an attractive village on the Alsace wine route. There are plenty of traditional Alsace style houses to admire, overflowing with flowers, and a few specific buildings of interest - mostly dating from the 17th century, these include the town hall, hospital and guard house.
Perhaps the most notable feature is the fortifications and three gateways that surround the old town, which are very unusual in the region.
During the summer months a 'traditional nightwatchmen' makes the rounds of Turckheim each evening, a popular event as he sings his way around the town, followed 'Pied Piper' style, by visitors to the village!
