Discover Morschwiller-Le-Bas

Morschwiller-le-Bas combines a marked village trail with insights into local history and a medieval-inspired garden. To help you plan, there are both sites in the village and described trails and leisure areas. This lets you tailor your stay to the topics that interest you most.

Church, garden, and historic buildings

The neo-Gothic Church of Saint-Ulrich dates from the 19th century and was built in 1878. One notable detail inside is the painting above the entrance to the central nave: LEROY of Nancy created it in 1851. It depicts Saint Ulrich of Augsburg (890–973) and served as the model for the choir window. This allows you to consider the church’s construction date alongside a specific feature of its interior.

The medieval garden lies between the church and the Dorfhüs. Its eight square-shaped plessis beds are planted with species used for food, medicine, and clothing. The garden is medieval-inspired, combining a distinctive layout with different uses for the plants. It is freely accessible year-round, and guided visits are available.

La Cure and the Cour dîmière are also historic stops. La Cure is a clergy house built in 1614 by monks from Lucelle Abbey. The Cour dîmière was the abbey’s former colongère farm. Both names point to the village’s former connection with Lucelle, but highlight different aspects: a clergy house in one case and a former farm in the other.

Explore the village on foot

The Parcours découverte de Morschwiller-le-Bas is a marked village trail. Information panels are located near notable sites, while frog markers indicate the direction along the route. These landmarks help you follow the trail as a connected exploration of the village and identify the stops along the way.

The Sentier du Steinbaechlein offers a different perspective: this loop trail, open to everyone, passes through fields and forests. Check the route conditions before setting out. The Steinbächlein adds a historical dimension to the landscape: at Pont d’Aspach, it is a diversion of the Doller; downstream, it supplied mills and textile factories. The walk through the landscape and the watercourse’s former industrial use thus offer two distinct themes.

Leisure area and getting there

The Plaine de jeux is a multi-generational area open to everyone. Facilities include a skate park, fitness area, multi-purpose facilities, pétanque court, climbing course, zip line, and bike park. The options range from exercise and skill-building to activities for a variety of leisure interests. Check locally whether the facilities are available before your visit.

Morschwiller-le-Bas is served by Soléa bus routes 13 and 52. Stops include Source, Hofer, Pèlerins, Cure, Oberdorf, and Campanule. As routes and services may change, it is advisable to check the latest information before travelling.

A dated event

The programme for the 22nd Fête des Rainettes on 6 September 2026 included a 10-kilometre trail run with no particular difficulties, a 19-kilometre trail run with gentle climbs, and a 5-kilometre walk in support of the Amazones. The routes therefore differ in distance and stated level of difficulty. The event takes place in 2026; for future editions, check the relevant dates and programme.
