Obernai
A medieval town southwest of Strasbourg with an intact market square, a six-bucket fountain and city walls. It is the hometown of Saint Odile.
Obernai lies about 30 km southwest of Strasbourg and is the birthplace of Saint Odile, patron saint of Alsace. The old town centers on the market square. Around it stand a 16th-century town hall, a granary and a chapel bell tower, along with the Renaissance Six-Bucket Fountain, which has three bucket supports. A stretch of medieval city wall also survives on the outskirts. The town has many restaurants and wine-tasting cellars, making it ideal for a half-day trip. It also serves as a stopover on the way to Mont Sainte-Odile. From Strasbourg, the TER train takes about 30 minutes.
