Vegetated and renaturated, lined with centennial lime trees, crossed by twelve bridges embedded under the flowers, the stream and its surroundings have made Hirtzbach famous for the exceptional quality of its flowering. Its half-timbered houses are well maintained, they are found everywhere and especially along the creek (main street). From May to October, windows and balconies crumble under geraniums, petunias or fuchsias.
Located opposite the castle, the English garden (park) was made available to the town by the Reinach family. The visitor will appreciate its very pleasant, calm and resting and will discover with delight the quality of its vegetation.
Its forest estate is vast (700 ha). Hirtzbach is the forest commune par excellence. There are many possibilities for walkers looking for calm, fresh air and freshness in a vast and welcoming forest estate, flanked here and there by ponds where it is good to rest.
