Route de découverte de Bennwihr

Bennwihr is a small wine-growing village situated on the Wine Route. Most people simply pass through this village, which was completely destroyed and then rebuilt after the Second World War. The walk starts near the Church of Saints Peter and Paul. It is an entirely urban walk that allows you to explore this village on the Wine Route, passing through the cemetery and past calvaries and other crosses. As the walk is short, it is advisable to combine it with the walks in Mittelwihr and Beblenheim.
