Castles, tiny villages with canals, and beautiful nature parks are all within easy reach of Strasbourg.
Colmar
You’ll find Colmar just 50 minutes from Strasbourg – just take the A35. This is one of the most popular towns in the Alsace region, and is known as ‘Little Venice’ thanks to its canals and bridges laden with flowers. It’s also the birthplace of Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi, the French sculptor who created the Statue of Liberty, and there is a museum devoted to him here.
Haut-Koenigsbourg Castle
Long the centre of European conflicts and rivalry between nobility, it’s not surprising that the Alsace region has more castles than anywhere else in Europe. There are over 400, and if there’s one must-see, it’s the Château du Haut-Koenigsbourg, located 45 minutes from Strasbourg via the A35. Spend some time exploring this medieval fortress restored in the early 20th century.
Northern Vosges Regional Nature Park
The Northern Vosges Regional Nature Park is located 55 minutes from Strasbourg via the A4. It’s a designated Unesco world reserve, with the likes of sandstone crusts eroded into unusual formations resembling towers, mushrooms, or arches. More than 60% of the park is covered in forest, making it exceptional for hiking.
To see all that the Alsace region of France has to offer, all you have to do is drive. Don't forget to check out the common French road rules before you travel.
