Sam Colmar is small by himself, and you can easily walk him on foot. The medieval center of the city is otherwise examined and will not work. You can use a tourist train, but this option is for the most lazy ones. In the city there is especially nothing to visit: here you have to hike leisurely on foot, making dozens of photographs of colorful buildings with contrasting brown beams.
Kitchen Colmar
Being located right in the center of the region, Colmar offers its guests the quintessence of local cuisine, which is an energetic fusion of German-French cool tradition-stationary. There are plenty of good cafes and restaurants in the city. Among the Alsatian specialties - sour cabbage, foie gras, smelly and rather sharp "Munster" cheese, sausages of a dozen varieties.
Special attention should be given to a bakery bakery .The top positions for both tourists and local residents are the flaming cake Flammküchen (a thin and wide cake reminiscent of pizza, with cream frish and open stuffing), onion pie, which in the autumn season is usually served to young white wine, and , of course, Lorrencian kish . It is Alsace-Lorraine is the birthplace of this lush and juicy cake; and, be sure, after trying it here, you are very disappointed with what is called the kish in Russia . Besides, dozens of bakeries on every corner give an excellent opportunity without interruption from photography to intercept a miracle-pretzel-a Bretzel or the same gugelhupf - an approximate analogue of the Easter grandmother with a hole in the middle .
