Niedermorschwihr is a gem. Hiding beneath the incredibly steep Grand Cru Sommerberg, Niedermorschwihr is a single street village, formed by medieval houses. The balconies hang over the street, just like in an old Hollywood stage setting, leaving no room for high trucks.
The most well known family of the village, Boxler, immigrated from Switzerland in the 17th century, filling the vacuum after the 30-years war.
