The Burning Place

The Witches Tower in Thann
The Witch's Eye at the Castle
Having just returned from the Tourist Office I'm a little disturbed about our current location. We arrived in Thann, at the southern end of the Alsace Wine Route, this afternoon and were interested to see we are parked next to the Tower of Witches. The pleasant woman in the Tourist Office cheerily told me that it was the prison for witches in medieval times. 'Oh yes they burned them in the area of the car park opposite the tower.' Great! I must say it has put a damper on the place. At least the sun has come out.
