The Enchanted Forest

Discover the Enchanted Forest in Altkirch from 6 December 2024 to 5 January 2025!

This unique concept in Alsace invites you to an extraordinary journey through the tales and legends of the Sundgau region and of Alsace.

Every year, a dozen or so tales are staged in the historic heart of this small town in southern Alsace. Forest animals, mysterious characters and magical settings transport you to a fantastic world.

Christmas is a special time of year in Altkirch, with no traditional Christmas market but magical decorations and illuminations as well as original set designs and digital creations by visual artist Anne Zimmermann. The theme for 2024 is gastronomy... you are in for a treat with tales and gourmet legends!

Discover them on your own or with storyteller Patrick Coulon during the Sundgau Tourist Office's guided tours.

And because Christmas is all about sharing, Altkirch also invites you to discover a varied programme of concerts and street shows, an open-air ice rink, exhibitions at the Musée Sundgauvien and the CRAC Alsace and a mapping on the façade of the Church.
