Kaysersburg was a very quaint town, very pretty buildings, a full tower with a great view, a pretty decent church, an all around very cozy feel, and a cute old couple we bought a few items from (I would love to visit their little shop again and maybe get a couple of the pocket knives they were selling). Apparently, during WWII, the town convinced the Germans to not destroy the town's 13th century bridge. It was worth the effort. The town is actually very well preserved. Below is a handful of pictures I took of the town...
This video was in a memorial cemetary in the heart of the city by the church...
We thought this dog was cool looking. If anyone can offer what crossbreed it is, we are curious. Sorry that the video is sideways.
Next, we went to Eguisheim. Compared to Kayserburg, it was definitely not a happening town, but definitely had a few gems. We found what seems to have been a memorial chapel which was very ornately decorated. Perhaps if K-Borg reads this, he can translate the posting outside that I took a picture of. We were also suckered into buying macaroons and chocolates in a good way...they were really good, but we only got them because we tried freebies that were literally handed to us.
This video sadly came out sideways as well...
There was also a neat church in Eguisheim with some more modern items and a few really old items. I've got some of them here...
Finally, we visited the nearby Le Troix de Chateax ( I may have butchered that spelling, but it's supposed to be The 3 Chateaus). It was at the begninning of the road to 5 Chateaus. I don't think we'll be seeing any of the others on this trip. It was an interesting ruin to visit, trying to visualize how the castle used to look like. Sadly, the top of the railing to the top of the highest tower was closed off. I wanted so badly to see that view. J wouldn't let me try to break into it...:)

Looks like you had a great time, overall. Too bad the rude wait staff took the glow off part of your trip but it sounds like everything was pretty awesome! The dog videos were stripped off the blog post but I could sse the ones from your tour.
