Village of Bas-Rhin, in the heart of the Regional Natural Park of the Northern Vosges, Oberbronn takes place not far from Niederbronn-les-Bains, in the historic region of Alsace. It is located about fifty kilometers from Strasbourg, not far from Engwiller, Philippsbourg and Windstein.

Old medieval city, Oberbronn has retained many elements of its original appearance, including revealing beautiful half-timbered houses, covered paved streets or a wealth of colors. For a long time under German law, the lordship returned to France in 1793, with many other territories. After a merger with Zinswiller in 1974, she resumed full independence in the early 1990s.

Full of charm the Alsatian city of Oberbronn continues to seduce passing visitors by the interest of its architectural and historical heritage, but also by its very popular culinary specialty, the chestnut pudding.

Things to see and do

The former castle of Oberbronn houses since 1849 the convent of the Sisters of the Most Holy Savior founded by Elisabeth Eppinger, today recognized blessed by the Church. Located in the heart of the village, it opens visitors to its gardens and its main courtyard that once served as homes for the lords of the city.

While strolling in the surroundings, do not miss to admire the vault Notre-Dame, the mixed church or the temple before appreciating the traditional houses scattered a little everywhere in the old center.

Oberbronn also has a stork pen created in 1992, and a fitness center and balneotherapy with rental cabins to relax in a pleasant setting.

Many marked hiking trails are also available from the village to explore the most beautiful sites of the Regional Natural Park of the Northern Vosges. In less than an hour's walk, you can admire the medieval ruins of the Wasembourg Castle in particular.

To also enjoy the local fauna and flora and for a family walk, you can take the direction of the forest of Falkenstein with its many trails.
