Nature and trails in La Wantzenau

Choosing between shorter stretches and longer stages gives you a practical starting point when planning your route.

MM Park and traces of history

MM Park in La Wantzenau presents an exhibition on the history of the Second World War across more than 7,000 m². It displays more than 120 tanks, armoured vehicles and military vehicles of various kinds. More than 400 uniformed mannequins illustrate the nations and branches of the armed forces involved in the Second World War. The visit therefore focuses both on the vehicles and on the depiction of the nations and branches of the armed forces involved. Exhibition content and the scope of the collection may change over time; check the latest information before visiting.

Another way to explore the area’s history is through archaeological traces of human settlement dating back to the Bronze Age. More recent excavations dated pottery shards to between 40 and 15 BC. These finds point to different periods: the Bronze Age and the dated shards belong to separate periods of the past. Those interested in history will find both archaeological traces of the past and the clearly defined subject of the MM Park exhibition in La Wantzenau.

Golf and practice facilities

Golf de La Wantzenau has a practice area open to the public. It includes a 12-hole practice course, a covered driving range, a grass driving range, a short-game area and two putting greens. The facilities cover different aspects of golf practice and help you consider in advance which options are relevant to your stay. Access to individual facilities may be subject to the club’s current rules. Check which areas are accessible before your visit.

Weekly market and seasonal offerings

Depending on the season, the selection at La Wantzenau’s weekly market ranges from fruit and vegetables to meat and charcuterie, cheese and prepared foods. You’ll also find bread, pretzels, tarte flambée and honey, as well as handmade decorations. Since the selection is seasonal and may vary, it’s worth checking what’s currently on offer if you’re visiting the market for a particular product. The market offers a different focus from the nature trails, exhibition or golf practice facilities: here, the emphasis is on food and handmade decorations in a seasonally changing selection.
