Hochstatt

Hochstatt is a small village in the Haut-Rhin department of Alsace, located a few kilometres north-east of Mulhouse, close to the French borders with Germany and Switzerland. This rural village offers a peaceful setting typical of the Sundgau area and the Alsace plain, with landscapes combining farmland and small woodlands. The region enjoys a semi-continental climate, with warm summers and cooler winters, well suited to outdoor activities such as walking and cycling along the numerous routes connecting Alsatian villages. Its proximity to Mulhouse provides easy access to the city's well-known museums, including the Cité de l'Automobile and the Cité du Train, as well as a wide range of shops and cultural venues. Hochstatt also serves as a convenient base for exploring the Sundgau, renowned for its ponds, traditional half-timbered farmhouses and Alsatian cuisine, including tarte flambée and sauerkraut-based specialities. Thanks to its border location, day trips to Basel in Switzerland or southern Germany are also easily accessible, making this quiet village a practical starting point for discovering the wider tri-border region.
