Beautiful Romanesque bell tower with vaulted ceiling. Sculpted main door. Small "Lourdes" grotto next to it.

This section of forest path between Richwiller (EPAD) and Wittelsheim (Cité Rossalmend) is truly unpleasant. Apart from a 300-meter paved section after the Sahel Vert site, the rest is either a potholed path (between Rossalmend and Sahel Vert) or a partially concreted path, with a sort of crenellation that's uncomfortable for the back and neck. Thanks to the gravel, which makes it "acceptable," it's not normal for such a route. I'd still prefer a dirt road, with pebbles and humus. Using this path for my bike commute between Wittelsheim and Mulhouse (Parc de Collines), this section, although a notable shortcut, spoils the fun a little; especially in the evening on the way back, at the end of the journey after a day's work. The town halls, the department, etc... It is the ideal natural route to avoid car traffic and stay in the forest when you come from all over Florival and want to go to Mulhouse. There are beautiful trails upstream (Along the Thur, around the Ecomuseum, from Guebwiller, Ensisheim...) AND downstream (between Richwiller and Luterbach, Luterbach and Morschwiller...).

In 1904, a rich deposit of potash was discovered by Amélie and Albert Zürcher, Joseph Vogt and Jean-Baptiste Grisez. The epic tale of Alsace’s potash mines begins. In recent decades, 11 mining sites have ceased operations one after the other. Thanks to a certain anticipation of the end of this industry and the work of volunteers from the “Groupe Rodolphe” association, the Écomusée d'Alsace manages to save a “tile” that of the Rodolphe mine which was the most important site of exploitation established by the company of Mines of Kali Sainte Thérèse, from 1911. The mine stopped in 1976 and a large part of the installations were able to be preserved. For more than 25 years, the Groupe Rodolphe association, living memory of the place, has maintained, rehabilitated and highlighted this rich heritage to make it the Historic Potash Mining Center. Visiting the tile is a moment of intense emotion. The miners of the Rodolphe Group will make you relive the epic of the Potash Mines of Alsace and share their passion with the testimony of their experiences at the bottom of the mine. During this visit, they will take you on a journey in the footsteps of the potash miner, through reconstructions of production sites, to discover the 2 headframes and 2 extraction machines from 1912 and 1928, perfectly restored and in working order. walk. But you will also see surface installations that allowed ore processing and a complete and unique set of mining machines dating from the 1950s to 2004.

The Notre-Dame church was built between 1764 and 1785 in the lower town, after the chapter was secularized and transferred from Murbach to Guebwiller. The development of the construction plan was entrusted to the Beuque architect, but most of the structural work and the neoclassical decoration (one of the most beautiful in Alsace) were carried out by Gabriel Ignace Ritter. Around the square is the canons' district, with five houses for the canons and the Neuenbourg castle, which today houses a cultural and tourist center (Tourist Office of the Guebwiller Region, Interpretation Center of the Architecture and Heritage and European Institute of Ceramic Arts).
