This circuit opens the gateway to the local heritage linked with two great artists: Goethe who spent a short time in Alsace in Sessenheim in 1770, and Henri Loux, the famous illustrator whose patterns were taken up on the “Obernai”-style pottery. The trail also takes you to the potter’s village of Soufflenheim, where a number of workshops are open to visitors throughout the year.
