Ottersthal

If you spend your holidays in the Area of Saverne, do not fail in visiting Ottersthal, a lovely little village located in the heights. There, you will be able to appreciate the beauty of half-timbered houses and to unveil a rich religious patrimony.

The Holy-Bores Vault will undoubtedly seduce you. Indeed, located on the way connecting the alsacian plain to Lorraine and quoted for the 1st time in 1559, the latter experiences an important restoration during the years 1630 and 1970.
Its weapons and initials are those of the Salm Count. On top of that, it is provided with a splendid source situated downwards.

Hikers will also enjoy a trip to Ottersthal thanks to the 3 Vaults Walking-Tour connecting Saverne to Ottersthal.
The latter, marked out by the Vosgean Club, will enable you to observe the Vosges buttresses and many picturesque landscapes characterised by castles in ruins, caves and other archaeological remnants.
