Ottrott is best known in Alsace for Rouge d’Ottrott, a local Pinot Noir wine tradition. The commune lies on the eastern slopes of the Vosges, between the vineyards of the Alsace Wine Route and the wooded heights below Mont Sainte-Odile. This mountaintop monastery, linked to Saint Odile, the patron saint of Alsace, remains a major place of pilgrimage. Above the village, the ruins of the medieval castles of Rathsamhausen and Lutzelbourg recall the fortified past of these hills.
