Schweigen-Rechtenbach

Look around. Vineyards as far as the eye can see. Gently and hilly they slope down to the Rhine valley. And it seems as if we have leased the sun. It seems that nowhere else in the country does it shine more than here. It gives us the balanced climate that is good for everyone. The vines that ripen in its rays. The almond trees and chestnuts along the roadsides. The lemons and figs in the gardens. The lush oleanders and flowers in the courtyards and gardens. The people here who, over time, have developed a lifestyle of the southern kind.

We encounter many things that tell of the special Palatine-Alsatian relationship. The border was moved many times, sometimes to one side, soon to the other.
