Then you notice the guard tower at the entrance of Ammerschwihr before heading to Kientzheim where you can take the rampart walk, admire the town hall square and the city’s mural paintings. Finally, Kaysersberg (its historic center and castle) is worth a visit.
The return continues along the meadows and the Fecht river, then takes the rural paths of Waldeslust, bringing you back to the center of Ingersheim. You can admire the dovecote in Marbach park and the Fleck villa.
Return to Turckheim by the same route.
