Come and discover the Galtz monument, also known as the "Alsatian Corcovado", at an altitude of 731 metres.
The Galtz statute represents Christ blessing the Alsace plain, located between the communes of Ammerschwihr, Katzenthal and Niedermorschwihr. The statue was erected in the 1930s as a tribute to the fallen soldiers of Alsace in the First World War.
Climb up the monument and the courtyard offers a superb panoramic view of the Vosges mountains, part of the Alsace wine route, magnificent Alsatian villages, the Rhine plain and, on a clear day, Germany's Black Forest.
The site can be explored on foot from the Trois-Epis town centre, or with a hike from Ammerschwihr, or why not take a day trip from Kaysersberg with your picnic.
The statue offers magnificent views of the famous Alsatian landscape.
