Camping de Wattwiller

Stroll or pedal into the local village for horseback rides into the surrounding countryside, or for a starting point for a bike or car tour of the nearby traditional Alsatian villages, such as Ungersheim, 20 minutes by car or just over an hour by bike, and Eguisheim, about 30 kilometres away past Uffholtz and Rouffach. One of France's 'towns of art and history', Mulhouse, is about half an hour's drive away. It has a range of museums well worth a wander around, including the automobile museum, the EDF Electropolis electricity museum and the open-air museum of the Écomusée d'Alsace. Wine? Wattwillwer is on the Alsace Wine Route, running for about 170 kilometres from Thann to Marlenheim, and stuffed with vineyards and wine producers to visit. Also traverse as much as you can of the Route des Crêtes, an 89-kilometre road taking in some spectacular nearby spots including the peak of Grand Ballon, the Col du Bonhomme and Lac Blanc.
