The Hotel de Ville houses the TI, which has town and valley maps and rents audio guides for touring Kaysersberg (€5). We just followed Rick Steves' tour along with the free town map, which outlined a walking tour.
Inside the Church of the Holy Cross (Ste. Croix Church).
Even though the church was built in the 13th century, the statues on the tympanum (carved relief over the door) are crude. This figure is supposedly the architect of the church.
Half-timbered house typical of Alsace.
The Kaysersberg Bridge, which spans the Weiss River, was spared destruction during WWII when the townspeople agreed to dig an anti-tank ditch just beyond the bridge.
The castle (or chateau), a 10-minute walk uphill from Kaysersberg.
View of the town from the castle.
Another aerial view.
Alsace is known for its kougelhopf--€2. It's a light version of a panettone.
