Today we went to Colmar. The initial plan was to go to the Eco Musee, but unfortunately it was closed. The famous Alsacienne storks were everywhere to be seen on its rooftops.

 

From there were went to Colmar, mainly to see the statue of liberty replica

From there, we took a slow drive back through past Masevaux and on to Bourbache-le-Haut

The baby pine trees

We stopped at the top of the road down to Bourbach-le-Haut, and took a short walk to view one of the war monuments.

 

The view over the valley was breath-taking, even though we only appreciated it for a couple of minutes, due to the icy wind.

Below us us lies the sleepy Bourbach-le-Haut, a town of some 300 people.

This is the road we took a good 6 times while staying here. The Tour de France travels along this route.
