Motorhome area of Schœnau (Bas Rhin)

Welcome to Schœnau, in the heart of the Grand Ried in Central Alsace. This peaceful village on the German border is located halfway between Strasbourg (52 km) and Colmar (33 km). This little corner of nature along the Rhine charms visitors with its tranquillity, preserved landscapes and proximity to must-see sites. Here, nature rules. The village is surrounded by forests, rivers, meadows and a supervised swimming lake (until the end of August). Opposite the campsite, the Rhinau Island Nature Reserve welcomes thousands of waterbirds every year — a fascinating spectacle for wildlife lovers. Classified Natura 2000, the Rhine forest offers peaceful, timeless walks filled with calm, freshness and biodiversity. On foot or by bike, explore the surroundings thanks to numerous marked routes: forest trails, loops along the Muhlbach mills, or the EuroVélo 15 cycle route which follows the Rhine all the way to Germany. For the curious, the medieval motte from the 11th-century castle takes you back to the history of the counts of Schœnau — a rare and well-preserved site in Alsace. The Grand Ried is also lively and pleasant to visit during the Christmas season. Nativity trails and many authentic Christmas markets take place in this beautiful part of Central Alsace. They are easily accessible from the campsite, far from traffic jams and mass tourism. Take advantage of your stay in Schœnau to explore the German side. The Kaiserstuhl vineyard is 12 km from the campsite. This small volcanic massif is a major German tourist destination and offers a complete change of scenery just 10 minutes from Schœnau. The green city of Freiburg im Breisgau is 45 km away. Crossing the Rhine, another must-see destination awaits you: Europa Park, ranked the world’s best theme park for several years. Between nature, heritage and relaxation, Schœnau is an ideal starting point to discover the treasures of Alsace while enjoying a rejuvenating stay in the heart of nature.
