About Urschenheim
Urschenheim: Alsatian Village on the Rhine Plain
Urschenheim is a small commune in the Haut-Rhin department of Alsace, eastern France, situated on the Rhine plain roughly 25 km south of Colmar. The village sits within the flat agricultural corridor between the Vosges foothills and the Rhine, a landscape of maize fields, orchards, and vine rows typical of rural Upper Alsace. With a population under 500, Urschenheim is a quiet base for travelers exploring the wider Route des Vins d'Alsace, which runs through nearby communes such as Biesheim and Kunheim.
Where to Stay
Accommodation options in Urschenheim itself are limited to a handful of chambres d'hôtes and rural gîtes. Visitors requiring a broader hotel selection typically stay in Colmar (25 km north) or Freiburg im Breisgau across the Rhine in Germany (approx. 35 km east via the A35/Pont de Chalampé). The EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg is approximately 45 km south, serving the region with connections to major European hubs.
Practical Tips
- Getting around: A car is essential; public bus connections from the village are infrequent.
- Season: Summer (June–August) offers warm Rhine plain weather; harvest season (September–October) aligns with Alsatian wine festivals in nearby villages.
- Border crossing: The German border at Chalampé is 8 km east — travelers can cross freely within the Schengen Area.
