There is also a direct train from Amsterdam, Utrecht or Arnhem to Basel. From Basel, it is a 40-minute train ride to Colmar. Colmar Station is just 6 km from the Gite.
The "Gite" is located in the center of the rustic picturesque village Eguisheim (designated as one of the most beautiful villages of France), the houses in the village, like many others in Alsace, feature timber and many colors. Eguisheim has two 'city walls' where you can take a beautiful walk around the village and sit in the center on a terrace with beautiful views of the churches. Due to the location of the Gite, between the city center and the city center, it is quiet, while you are 50 meters walk between the cozy.
Eguisheim has many wine producers and there are many offerings from the different wineries. (Delicious Rieslings) Eguisheim is located directly on the famous wine route in Alsace. Kolmar city center can be reached in 15 minutes by car, after which you can easily park in RAPP parking garage. Colmar is fantastic with its beautiful old town, beautiful buildings, many terraces and much more.

In winter you will be in the mountains between the skiers in 45 minutes. From April to October there is a "flea market" (marché aux puces) where every French sells their "old" items every Sunday morning in one of the villages around Eguisheim .
Each season has something to offer in Alsace. Spring and summer are suitable for excursions in beautiful nature and enjoy outdoors. Autumn is fantastic because of the vintage, wine festivals and the Christmas markets in December. In January and February it is quieter, but you can go skiing in the mountains for skiing or hiking in the snow.
