Discover Neugartheim-Ittlenheim
Accommodation in Neugartheim-Ittlenheim
Neugartheim-Ittlenheim offers something for a range of travel interests: local history centred on Saint-RĂ©my Church, contemporary art in Neugartheim and hiking trails connected with the Kochersberg. To plan your stay, you can first decide whether cultural history, art or time spent on the trails should shape your visit.
Saint-RĂ©my Church and the history of the Kochersberg
The first Saint-RĂ©my Church dates back to the 12th century. In 1785, part of the building was expanded and rebuilt at its original site; a complete restoration followed in 1994. The church is included in the preliminary inventory of historic monuments. Its architectural history therefore brings together a medieval origin, a specific reconstruction and a later restoration as distinct stages.
A stylised reconstruction recalls an optical Chappe semaphore relay. It was moved to the Kochersberg in 1814 and remained in operation until 1852. Together with the church, the relay offers a different perspective on the area's history: alongside architectural history, it also tells the story of optical communications.
La Serre: contemporary art in Neugartheim
La Serre presents contemporary art in a former agricultural building in Neugartheim. The exhibitions are shown in a simple, welcoming setting that differs from the traditionally formal atmosphere of a museum or art centre. Each edition brings together artworks, workshops, meetings and socialising; the programme may vary from one edition to another. If you plan to visit La Serre, check the details of the specific edition. This lets you match your interest in art to the programme on offer, rather than focusing solely on the exhibition setting.
Hiking trails and landscape
The 8.6-kilometre circular trail “Paysages et patrimoine du Kochersberg” (Landscapes and Heritage of the Kochersberg) follows village streets and country paths through Ittlenheim, Neugartheim and Wintzenheim-Kochersberg. Its focus is the architectural and historical heritage of the Kochersberg. Its length, route and theme give you specific points of reference if you would like to combine a hike with a look at the villages and their cultural heritage.
The hiking trail “Sentier: autour du Kochersberg” (Trail: Around the Kochersberg) leads to the 301-metre-high Kochersberg, the highest point in the area. The hike offers a chance to discover the municipalities of Neugartheim, Willgottheim and Avenheim. Two ditches belonging to the Château des Evêques have also been preserved alongside the trail. This gives the route a different focus: the Kochersberg is its named destination, while the ditches provide another specific link to the area's history.
Leisure area and travel planning
The leisure area by the pond includes a children's playground with a carousel, seesaws, slides, a large zip line, swings and other play equipment. The listed equipment gives you a concrete idea of what's available by the pond. As playground equipment can change over time, check its condition before your visit.
Neugartheim-Ittlenheim is served by RĂ©seau 67 public transport on line 404, which connects with line 220. Check the current timetable before travelling, as routes and connections may change.
