Greenway at the Foot of the Rangen of Thann

Highlight • Cycleway

The Rangen vineyard in Thann is the southernmost in Alsace and the only one in the region to be classified Grand Cru in its entirety. Its hillsides (350 to 450m), facing due south, extend over an area of 22 ha with slopes of up to 45°.

You have certainly already seen on TV reports on its spectacular and perilous harvests! In some plots, the harvesters are roped together for a real mountaineering course! Thrills guaranteed! This vineyard owes its reputation to its terroir on volcanic soil, to the presence of the Thur river which provides it with the humidity necessary for the grapes to ripen.

The Witch's Eye (Engelbourg Castle)

Highlight • Castle

On the heights of Thann, this 13th century castle offers a magnificent view of the city. Commonly called the Eye of the Witch, it owes this name to the remnant of the old dungeon which recalls this form.
