Welcome to the county of thann

Thann and its region possess a rich historical and natural heritage. This is a land of tradition and legend where you can admire the Saint-Thiebaut Collegial made of old stones, enjoy a glass of Rangen Grand Cru or have a relaxing stroll along the Michelbach dam.

Located at the very southern part of the regional vineyard and well known for its Rangen Grand Cru, the town of Thann is the southern gate of the Alsatian Wine Road. This famous road runs through 170 km of plains and mountains to Marlenheim in the north.

Near River Thur, in fornt of the Witches' Tower, a 7 m long fresco depicts the soils of the entire Alsatian vineyard.

Inside the Witches' Tower (a former city wall tower dating from 1411) there is a museum on wine making and the geology of the Alsatian vineyard.  

Built between 1979 to 1982, the dam is used to regulate ground water and to guarantee drinkable water supply to Mulhouse and its surroundings. 

It is a protected and listed natural reserve. Mulhouse water company and the association of the Dam of Michelbach insure the management and the functioning of the dam.

A 4 km educational pedestrian tour (an hour and a half walk) allows to discover and to observe the birds living or passing by this area (Cormoran, Osprey, Carrion Crow etc).

Finally, admire the Vosges summits of Rossberg, Thannerhubel, Markstein and 'Grand Ballon'.
