Hirtzbach

Typical Sundgauvian village, which has just added to its long list of distinctions the Prize of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries and the Interprofessional Office of Fruits, Vegetables and Horticulture

Hirtzbach is proud of its four flowers, awarded at national and European level for the quality of its flowering. It is a village where it is indisputably good to live.

Following the course of the stream (the Hirschbach), we discover beautiful half-timbered houses, as well as an alley of hundred-year-old lime trees. As you walk through Charles de Reinach Park, you can admire the last Sundgau glacier, wonderful vegetation and the Reinach Castle.

The Sainte-Afre chapel and the parish church are full of artistic and architectural remains including a painting by Gutzwiller, a fresco by Limido (in the church) and a pietà from the XXth century (in the chapel).

Do not miss the 1st weekend of August: the feast of Nature, a big street party organized over two days which enlivens the whole village and attracts every summer some 10 people to Hirtzbach: exhibitions, craft stands, street entertainment, folk music and fireworks round off the festivities.
