Alsatian villages

Having driven through much of Alsace, I have to say I was quite impressed by how colorful all the little villages were. Set in the rolling hills and surrounded by vineyards, it was quite pleasant. There were lots of half-timber houses and narrow streets. It's really kind of hard to believe it's France. If you're looking for a wine tasting holiday, it's definitely a place to go. You can find some shots of various places in the gallery.

One stop of note along the way was the castle Haut Konigsburg, one of many former homes of the Habsburgs. Quite a well presrved castle, though seemingly lacking in a true tall tower.
