Visit Alsace’s cities and culture
Dive into the heart of history

Natur’camp, our eco-responsible campsite, is located in the heart of the Thur Valley, a valley rich in textile industry history that led to the region’s economic boom in the XIXᵉ century. The museum in the Parc de Wesserling retraces the period that marked this important economic transformation of the region.

You’re guaranteed to fall in love! Mulhouse is another big city nearby, famous for its automobile and railroad museum.

Gastronomy and farm inns

Get a taste of Alsatian gastronomy in the friendly atmosphere of a farmhouse inn. You’ll savor a succulent marcaire meal (including “Roîgabrageldi” with smoked pork) in a mountain setting where home cooking and sharing are the watchwords. Try and approve traditional recipes such as choucroute, tartes flambées, munster, kouglopf, tarte aux Myrtilles (or Brimbelles) and many others.
For epicureans, Alsace abounds in small producers, fine Michelin-starred restaurants and charming wine cellars with the famous white wines (gewurztraminer, Riesling, crémant…) that you’ll find all along the wine route.
