More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into the van in Strasbourg as morning light cuts across the Ill River, and the day loosens into slow hills and vines. Border signs flash and the landscape shifts—German Riesling slopes of Kaiserstuhl give way to the narrow, vine‑lined lanes of the Route des Vins in Alsace. Photo stops at the Texas Pass let you feel the warm, slate‑rich earth underfoot; Endingen's cobbles and half‑timbered facades smell faintly of toast and ripening grapes.
