Discover Holtzheim – Holiday Apartment between Culture and Nature

Holtzheim turns its attention to its own village history: a tour through the village allows visitors to trace its history. The different themes can be considered side by side for your personal planning, without placing them in a fixed order. Depending on your travel preferences, you can give each focus a different level of importance.

Culture

Construction of the Saint-Laurent Church, known today in Holtzheim, began in 1866. A pilgrimage to Saint Pirmin for the healing of eye disorders has been documented at the church since 1597. Saint-Laurent has a very beautiful organ case by Nicolas Boulay, an organ builder from Herrlisheim; it is the only one of its kind preserved in Alsace.

Former Alsatian families and farmsteads are highlighted as part of Holtzheim’s cultural heritage. For a cultural day, you can consider architectural history, pilgrimage and the rural past as separate focal points.

Nature

Holtzheim’s landscape includes forests, fields, ponds and the Bruche, a river that flows peacefully from west to east towards the Rhine. Holtzheim offers good opportunities for walks on foot and by bicycle.

With a little patience, you may see roe deer and hear tawny owls at night. For your planning, physical activity and quiet nature observation can be considered side by side as two distinct ways to spend your time.

Water

La Gravière du Fort is a diving site in Alsace. Competitions in freediving, photography, video, fin swimming and orienteering can be held there.

Land-based and water-based activities can be viewed as two clearly distinct focal points, between which you can choose according to your interests.

Holtzheim is served by the city’s CTS bus routes 22 and 43. They provide direct connections to Entzheim TER station (route 43), Lingolsheim Alouettes station, with Tram B and route L1 (route 22), as well as, among other destinations, Collège Galilée in Lingolsheim.

Flex’hop is a reservation-based public transport service operated by CTS. It provides direct connections from all stops in Holtzheim to numerous stops in an area covering 25 municipalities of the Strasbourg Eurometropolis, including several tram stations on the outskirts of Strasbourg.

For orientation, you can distinguish the fixed routes 22 and 43 from the reservable Flex’hop service and consider the destinations mentioned separately.

The Espace Marceau media library offers free internet access at three freely accessible self-service stations.

When comparing holiday apartments in Holtzheim, travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions can structure the offer pages. Use these three details as a separate level of comparison alongside the characteristics of the location, and arrange the order according to your travel plan. Culture, nature, physical activity and water remain distinct focal points.
