Between Strasbourg and Colmar, there are quite a few pretty little towns and villages. On our way to Dambach-la-Ville, we stopped in Obernai, which was roaming with visitors on that Saturday afternoon. We did not stay very long.
A fountain dressed in yellow flowers caught our eyes in Obernai.
Dambach-la-Ville is known for its quality wines, and lies on the eastern slopes of the Vosges mountains with a population of around 2200. Its finest wine is the Alsacian Grand Cru.
The first thing we looked for though was our abode, a renovated barn, which we had rented for the weekend.
This barn has been turned into an upstairs-apartment (on the right), and it was perfect for us.
When we weren’t walking around the town, vineyards, or exploring restaurants, we enjoyed spending our time in the inner courtyard.
This is a very clean little town, and its residents take a lot of pride in it.
We explored our neighborhood while it was getting dark already. This is just one of the many roads leading to church.
The yellow containers are used for the grape harvest.
We found a restaurant by the town square, where my husband enjoyed a good meal of Schweinebäckchen (pork cheeks). I stuck to wine tasting.
