Itterswiller: Wine, Walks and Heritage

Itterswiller is a village on the Route du Vin and a renowned winegrowing and gastronomic stop. Seven wine pergolas have been built across the Route des Vins. Alongside this connection to wine, a protected tower, two walks with different routes and a panoramic view are themes you can consider when choosing your destination.

Winegrowing and the character of the village

The seven wine pergolas are an architectural landmark of winegrowing and run across the Route des Vins. Another feature is the “Fruehmess” cru, produced in Itterswiller and considered elegant and fruity. The character of local winegrowing is therefore reflected both in features along the route and in a specific local product. Itterswiller is also a renowned gastronomic stop. If wine is part of your trip, the route, pergolas and cru each offer a distinct point of reference.

Protected heritage at the Église Saint-Remi

The entire tower of the Église Saint-Remi has been protected under a decree dated 9 May 1988. This includes the “Last Judgment” mural on the north wall on the ground floor. The protection thus covers the tower as a whole, including the specifically located painting. This adds a clearly identified link to a building and its mural to Itterswiller’s cultural heritage, alongside its winegrowing.

Two walks, different themes

The “Escale à Itterswiller” leisure walk first passes through vineyards at the foot of the village and near the Schernetz stream. It then continues into the flower-filled village centre, with its traditional architecture. The route thus highlights both the vineyard landscape and the village’s streetscape. The walk starts at Route du Vin, Place de la Schernetz, 67140 Itterswiller.

The “Balade ludique à Itterswiller” has a different focus: it takes you on a discovery trail through the streets of the village at the foot of Mont des Abeilles, with riddles along the way. It is offered in three versions for children aged 4 to 12 and for the whole family. The address is 65 route des Vins, 67140 Itterswiller. When choosing between the two activities, you can consider their respective themes: the Escale combines vineyards and traditional architecture, while the Balade combines riddles and discovery, with versions for the specified age groups.

Panoramic views over the Alsatian plain

An orientation table in Itterswiller offers panoramic views over the Alsatian plain. This broad landscape view complements the more focused themes of vineyards, streets and the village centre. When planning your trip, you can decide whether you are most interested in the village’s architectural and winegrowing features, one of the walks or views across the plain.
