One of the region's most sacred sites, the monastery of Mont Sainte-Odile in Ottrott.

Overlooking the valley, the monastery of Mount Sainte-Odile is one of the most sacred sites in the region. In the 7th century, the Merovingian duke Etichon, who reigned over Alsace, rejected his blind daughter. She was placed under the protection of nuns before being granted the castle of Hohenbourg, built around 680 on the current site of Mount Sainte-Odile. Before her death, she decided to build a monastery there. Destroyed and rebuilt many times, it was bought back by the bishopric in 1853. Restored in the 1930s, it has been a place of pilgrimage ever since.

Lieu beaucoup fréquenter. Une très belle vue sur les alentours surtout lors des journées très ensoleillées. Beau jardin et lieu d'apaisement.

Un monastère perché sur une colline, qui invite à se reposer. La vue sur le massif des Vosges et la plaine alsacienne est de toute beauté. Un chemin permet de descendre jusqu’à une source d'eau. Ne l'empruntez pas, nous avons été très déçus : la source n'est qu'un mince filet d'eau et le chemin d'accès, facile à descendre, l'est beaucoup moins à remonter.

Le couvent du Mont Sainte-Odile et les petites chapelles sont magnifiques et le point de vue sur l’Alsace est splendide ! C’est un endroit idéal également pour faire de la randonnée.
