Route de découverte de Pfaffenheim

Pfaffenheim is a small wine-growing village situated on the Wine Route. With a population of 1,400, the village features houses with typical Alsatian charm. It is a pleasure to stroll through the quiet streets on the edge of the vineyards. The most remarkable building is, of course, Saint-Martin’s Church. The walk is easily done in the morning and can be combined with a visit to Gueberschwihr, a neighbouring village.
