One of the most beautiful villages I have ever visited. A paradise for photographers. Vineyards, rivers, castles, varied architecture. One scene is prettier than the next. Look for the stork nests. One of the villages visited on our Rhine River Christmas Market River cruise.

This is an amazing place. If you like Miyazaki Hayao 宮崎駿, this is definitely a place you cannot miss. You will find some of the movie scene in "Howl's Moving Castle". This place is very dreamy and beautiful. There is a bus traveling to and from Colmar. However the bus only runs till late afternoon, so you have to schedule your time accordingly. Or likewise, stay there for one day. On the way are all vineyards, very beautiful scenery. Kaysersberg is like a little german town. You can see horse carriages, shops selling christmas things, cockoo clocks, german glass, gingerbread, and little crafts items. The cobblestone road leads you to different parts of the village. This is a good place to spend an afternoon. Enjoy! ^^

One of the most picturesque towns on the "Route de vines" with many historic buildings, good restaurants, and shops, all beautifully decorated with flowers ( in September). Also the home of Nobel Peace winner, Doctor Albert Schweitzer, and there is a museum telling of his life and work, entrance fee only 2 eruo.

The quaint shops and medieval atmosphere, excellent restaurants, beautiful flowers. Visiting the chateau and walking through the vineyards. Biking from village to village is great.

This was one of four Alsatian villages that we visited on one day. It was the liveliest. Along the river, one can find more of the half timber houses. Good photo op here. The houses are colorful and the setting is fairy tale like. for those interested in souvenirs, there are many shops selling the colorful casseroles and glass works.This village was a good choice to visit. It is biggish and lively, and pretty.

The place was so cute. There was an abundance of cafes, shops, & culture. Had the recommended 'Tarte Flambee' (basically a skinny, puff-pastry pizza) in a little cafe, and it was yum. All the little gift shops were charming. A lot of history in one place. Loved it!

We were with a group that stopped here for lunch and our only regret was that we didn't have more time to spend here. This is a very memorable little village that is bursting with Alsatian charm. There are a ton of cafes and boutiques and wine tasting places. Since our time was limited and we wanted to explore the town, we grabbed a prepared sandwich from a small shop on the main pedestrian street and found a little bench near the river that courses through town where we enjoyed the ambiance during a quick meal. We decided to take the small path that leads to the old castle where the views of the town, valley, and surrounding vineyards was worth the climb. If we ever get back to this area, I will try to arrange our visit so that we can spend a night here.

We came here from Colmar. What a difference. So country like with each house worth to stop and look at. I took the largest amount of pictures here in such a short time....A must see if in Alsace!

We didn't make it to the castle as we just ran out of time admiring this lovely village, eating and drinking, and listening to a group of alp horn players who arrived to play in the main street!Visited on a Monday afternoon so the village wasn't too busy; it's an excellent stop if coming from the western side of the Vosges and driving over the Col du Bonhomme. Parking was easy - there is a reasonably-sized open-air car park almost opposite the Albert Schweitzer Museum, which costs about two euros.The area near the medieval stone bridge over the river is particularly attractive; this really is a must-see destination on a visit to Alsace.

We love how each of the villages on the routes des vins has a unique character. Kaysersberg is special because it has a river meandering along its centre, with bridges and curving streets to explore. For the more active visitors, there is a castle to climb up to with a view over the valley. This was one of our three favourite villages, along with Riquewihr and Ribeauville, and we really appreciated that it was slightly less crowded. The delicious coffees and gateaux in a sidewalk cafe in the sun just added to the experience!

Mom and I liked Kaysersberg and were lucky enough to catch a market day on a Monday morning. We purchased some locally made cheese - Munster like? - from a merchant and it was delicious.Even more beautiful was the drive up to Luc Blanche past Orsey. We were trying to find Gazon du Faing but alas, our GPS didn't recognize the location. Definitely worth the drive. It is so peaceful and gorgeous. Unfortunately the drive took up most of our time so we were unable to stroll and enjoy Kaysersberg like we have with other towns.

This is a must place to visit, lots of little boutiques to visit food and clothes. The cobble streets are maybe not the easiest to walk on so if you have mobility problems maybe not the best place to visit. The town is very busy at the weekend and during the holidays. If you have the possibility to visit the town outside of these periods it would be more enjoyable.
