History and magic merge in Hombourg-Haut. With your family, discover the Middle Ages: fairies and dragons, knights and castles, magical plants... your guide tells you everything!
Follow the Herborist in the heart of Old Hombourg. It will reveal the history of the place, but also the tales of the city and its little secrets. You will visit in a lively and playful way the buildings and the remains, which date from the thirteenth century: the ramparts, the Old Gate, the collegiate church of Saint-Etienne, the witch tower, as well as the chapel of the knight Simon of Hombourg, which is only open to the public during these guided tours. Along the way, you will meet curious characters...
You will also learn how plants were used in the Middle Ages: for cooking, for medicine, for dyes... and for a little magic, too!
