Situated in eastern France, this area is abundant in lush forests and vineyards, boasting charming towns and delectable cuisine. One of the greatest perks of Alsace is its proximity to Germany and Switzerland, making it a convenient destination for travelers looking to explore both countries by car or train.
This proximity to other countries has also had a significant effect on the culture and architectural styles in Alsace, which can still be seen today. One of the most popular attractions in the region is the Château Saint-Ulrich. This ancient ruin is great for climbing, learning about history, and looking out over some stunning views.
