Dannemarie: Culture, History and Routes

Dannemarie offers a range of options for your trip: cultural history, events, a lake for fishing and walking, and two named cycling routes. When planning your hotel stay, it is helpful to start by deciding which of these themes will shape your visit. The examples below range from historical collections and cultural events to time by the water, a family activity and the meeting point of two cycling routes.

Cultural History in Dannemarie

The Callinet organ in Saint-Léonard Church was built by Joseph Callinet in 1846. The French Ministry of Culture’s inventory lists restorations in 1912 and again between 1977 and 1985. The year it was built and its restoration periods give the organ a distinctive place in the town’s cultural history.

The Mémorial de Haute-Alsace is housed in a former red-brick factory dating from the 1920s. Its collections explore the history of southern Alsace between 1871 and 1918, including the lives of soldiers and civilians. This regional and social perspective brings the period to life through the experiences of different groups. The Upper Alsace Memorial also has a collection of more than 15,000 objects related to the First World War.

Events and Cultural Program

The Foyer de la Culture is an event venue with 237 seats. Its program includes concerts, plays and other performances; film screenings are held every Friday evening. Please check the specific date when planning your trip. The program thus includes both stage performances and a regularly scheduled film night. If a particular performance is important to your travel plans, check the date and program in advance.

Walks and Time by the Water

Étang du Lattloch is a fishing lake and also a place for walks. A well-maintained path lets you walk around the lake and stroll along its shores. This means you can enjoy two different activities at the same body of water: fishing or a walk. The lake is a specific point of interest if you would like to include walks in your travel plans.

An Adventure Trail for Families

The playful Randoland adventure trail in Dannemarie is a family-friendly treasure hunt specially designed for children aged four and up. Route maps adapted to different age groups help children explore Dannemarie’s natural and architectural heritage at their own pace. Unlike a visit focused on historical collections, this activity centers on exploring independently with the help of the route maps. The age recommendation and format give you practical information for including the activity in your family trip plans.

Cycling Routes and Boating

Dannemarie is at the intersection of EuroVelo 6 and the Voie verte de la Largue. The two named routes meet here, making it a clear reference point for cyclists planning their journeys. The Relais nautique is also nearby, in Wolfersdorf. It is easily accessible from Dannemarie and serves boaters on the Canal du Rhône au Rhin. The connection to the canal adds a point of interest for boaters to the information about the town and cycling routes.
