The village

Hunawihr is one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France, best known for its unique fortified church (source: Alsace Wine Route by Car – Itinerary & Map.md). It sits on the Géovino Trail near Riquewihr; the source recommends hiking the first stretch from Riquewihr to Hunawihr and back (6 km, ~1h15) (source).

Tiny and famous for its fortified hilltop church and the nearby Naturoparc stork and otter reintroduction centre, it sits among the central “pearls” between Ribeauvillé and Riquewihr (source: compass_artifact_wf-755602f0...). Domaine François Schwach (28 Route de Ribeauvillé) runs tours including an “Introduction to Alsace Wines” and a “Crémant Experience” (source: Alsace Wine Route by Car – Itinerary & Map.md).
