Haut-Rhin
Named after the River Rhine, which forms its eastern border, Haut-Rhin is one of two departments in Alsace. To the west lie the Vosges mountains and the remaining landscape is hilly with a fertile central plain. It is dotted with pretty villages, which in the summer are decked with pelargoniums; floral displays that in the past have won Haut-Rhin the Trophée du Departement Fleuri. The department's rich history lives on in its many châteaux, museums, churches and preserved battlefields from World War I.
CAPITAL: COLMAR - Self-proclaimed capital of Alsatian wine, Colmar is one of the stops on the Route des Vins d'Alsace, and its tiny twisting streets flanked with half-timbered houses are reminiscent of a medieval folk tale. The Petite Venise quarter is criss-crossed with picturesque canals, and is a delight to discover either on foot or by boat.
