Very beautiful wine village with many half-timbered houses.
The village center is surrounded by two ring roads, which were created by two town walls. Eguisheim is also called "Zwiebeslstadt" (onion town) because the streets are laid out in a ring around the central castle.
Pope Leo IX, who introduced celibacy in the Catholic Church, among other things, comes from Eguisheim.

At @EifelFranke, we saw wonderful photos 📸 of his recent Eguisheim city tour. This increased our anticipation for our Easter Saturday tour in Alsace. We started at the large parking lot on the Grand-Rue (€4 at the machine/card or cash).

Rain ☔️. So first we went to Mulhouse to the automobile museum. Worth seeing!

Then we took a walk in the picturesque old town of Eguisheim. A picture-book Alsatian idyll.
