Kintzheim

Whether you are a family, a couple or a group of friends, the town of Kintzheim will seduce you with its colourful houses, its many activities and its authenticity.
Kintzheim is crossed from north to south by the Alsace Wine Route, located between the vineyards, the mountains and its many hiking trails and the Route des Châteaux.

A visit to the "Volerie des Aigles" is a must. It has been installed since 1968 in the medieval setting of Kintzheim castle, which dates from the 13th century. It is the oldest of the three animal parks in Kintzheim and the first in France to show the largest birds of prey in the world flying in complete freedom.

Then stop at the Montagne des Singes located in the middle of the forest near the road leading from Kintzheim to Haut-Koenigsbourg. The Montagne des Singes is a wildlife park where more than 200 Barbary macaques, also called "magots", live in freedom on 24 hectares of forest. 

For the youngest, the Cigoland amusement park will amuse them in a playful and educational way. It is an amusement park with playgrounds, giant ducks on a water basin, circuits in electric cars, a monorail that passes over stork nests... The park is home to many white storks in addition to other wild animals or farm animals.

For those who enjoy walking, cycling or mountain biking, Kintzheim offers numerous footpaths and trails, marked out by the Club Vosgien and cycle routes. The famous Alsace vineyard cycle route also passes through the village.

Take advantage of your visit to the village to stop at the cellars to taste the Praelatenberg grand cru before enjoying a tarte flambée or another Alsatian speciality in one of Kintzheim's restaurants.
