Charming wine town ~ Ribeauville

After having lunch in Colmar, I took a bus to Ribeauville. Ribeauville is located in the Haut-Rhin department of France, at the foot of the Vosges Mountains with the Strengbach River flowing through it. It is one of the 188 member municipalities of the Ballons des Vosges Regional Nature Park. You can join a day tour to visit five small villages along the wine route in one day. The vast hills here are covered with vineyards, making it a famous wine region where you can taste wine🍷. I didn't join a tour group and took the bus to Ribeauville alone. However, you need to be mindful of the time because if you miss the last bus, there will be no more buses, and it's hard to get a taxi here. I only chose to walk around Ribeauville, as these wine towns are probably quite similar. Ribeauville is situated at the foot of the mountain, offering beautiful scenery. The history of Ribeauville dates back to the time of Henry IV in 1084. The scenery here is pleasant, with many historical and cultural monuments. Until 2015, it was the most important political center in the Haut-Rhin department outside of Colmar.
