The commune incorporates two mineral water springs, one of them, first exploited more than two thousand years ago, known as the
Roman Spring and the other known as the
Celtic Spring:
Celtic Spring branded water is widely available in the area. The waters' curative properties are recommended against rheumatism and degenerative illnesses. The spa tradition today supports a more general tourist industry in the little town, which even boasts its own casino. The little town also contains an archaeological museum containing remnants of North Vosgean settlements. The strategic importance, during the
Second World War, of the
Wissembourg Gap is reflected in the approximately 15,403 buried in the war cemetery. More than 95% of these were German soldiers, but other nations and civilians are also represented here. A meeting place called the
Albert Schweitzer Centre was set up in 1993 to foster contacts between French and German young people. Other nearby attractions in the area include the ruined
Wasenbourg and the look-out tower on the
Grand Wintersberg, some four kilometers to the north. ==Notable residents==
