Alsace has preserved its historical structures through the centuries. The region extends from Rhine valley vineyards to forested Vosges heights and displays its past through castles, abbeys and museums. Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg stands above the Rhine plain, while Fort de Mutzig demonstrates early 20th-century German military architecture. Abbaye de Murbach ranks among the region's significant Romanesque buildings. Alsatian gardens combine botanical collections with historical grounds. Jardin Botanique Universitaire de Strasbourg presents over 6,000 plant species, Parc de Wesserling documents textile history through its grounds. Roseraie de Saverne displays more than 500 rose varieties. In the Vosges, Sentier des Roches crosses rock formations and mountain ridges, while Route des Crêtes connects summits over 50 miles (80 kilometers). Cultural heritage appears in village squares like Place de la Dîme in Eguisheim and in specialized collections. Musée Lalique in Wingen-sur-Moder exhibits glass art, Cave Historique des Hospices de Strasbourg has stored wines since the 16th century. Maison Rurale de l'Outre-Forêt documents rural life, while Observatoire Astronomique de Strasbourg counts among France's oldest university observatories.
