Stosswihr

Built around the Petite Fecht, Stosswihr grew into a Vosges foothill commune in Alsace’s Munster Valley. West of Colmar, it occupies a narrowing valley beneath the forested slopes of the Vosges Mountains, where roads lead towards the high passes. Its modern fabric is closely tied to the First World War: the village was destroyed during the conflict and rebuilt afterwards. Stosswihr also belongs to the country of Munster, the pungent washed-rind cheese traditionally associated with this part of Alsace. Meadows, woodland and neighbouring valley settlements give the area a distinctly rural character. Explore related webcams in the Munster Valley to gain a fuller sense of the Vosges region.
