Dannemarie combines a crossroads of two cycling routes with cultural heritage and walks around the Étang du Lattloch. The EuroVelo 6 and the Voie verte de la Largue meet here; at the same time, its attractions range from a Callinet organ to a museum in a former brick factory. When planning your trip, it helps to first decide whether culture, cycling or time by the water is your priority. You can also use this focus to guide your search for a hotel in Dannemarie, without turning the individual offerings into a fixed itinerary.

Cultural Heritage and Events

The Mémorial de Haute-Alsace is housed in a former red-brick factory dating from the 1920s. It presents collections on the history of southern Alsace from 1871 to 1918, including the realities of life for soldiers and civilians. This period extends beyond the years of the First World War, providing a broader context for regional history. The Upper Alsace Memorial's collection includes more than 15,000 objects related to the First World War.

The Callinet organ in Saint-Léonard Church offers a different window onto the past: Joseph Callinet built it in 1846; it was restored in 1912 and again between 1977 and 1985. While the Mémorial explores the history of a region over several decades, the organ can be placed in a different timeline through its year of construction and two restoration periods. Dannemarie thus offers two distinct approaches to history side by side: a regional perspective and the construction history of a single instrument.

For a cultural evening, the Foyer de la Culture offers a different setting. The venue has 237 seats, and its program includes concerts, plays and other performances. Film screenings are also held every Friday evening. If you plan to see a film on a Friday evening, check the current screening schedule in advance.

At the Étang du Lattloch

The Étang du Lattloch is used for both fishing and walking. A well-maintained path makes it possible to walk around the lake and stroll along its shores. This allows you to include a waterside walk in your stay; fishing and walking the loop offer two different ways to enjoy the area.

Cycling Routes and Activities for Children

For cycle tourists, the location of the two routes provides a useful point of reference: the EuroVelo 6 and the Voie verte de la Largue meet in Dannemarie. If cycling is a focus of your trip, you can plan around this junction and consider which of the two routes you want to prioritize.

For children aged four and over, the family-friendly Randoland adventure trail offers a fun treasure hunt. Using age-appropriate route maps, children can explore Dannemarie's natural and architectural heritage at their own pace. This self-guided activity differs from a film screening or performance with a set time: the focus is on the maps and exploring independently.

Another point of interest, explicitly located nearby, is the Relais nautique in Wolfersdorf. It is easily accessible from Dannemarie and serves boaters on the Canal du Rhône au Rhin. This adds a connection to the canal to the area's cultural, cycling and walking attractions, without suggesting that the Relais nautique is located in Dannemarie itself.
