Larvae of the worms glow to attract prey into their threads, perhaps luring them into believing they are outdoors, for the roof of a cave covered with larva can look remarkably like a starry sky at night. A hungry larva glows brighter than one which has just eaten.  Amazing as it sounds, a trip to these caves include organized tours that include a boat ride under the glowworms…absolutely magical!

Chatenois is an beautiful but quiet little village on the wine road in Alsace with lots of interesting outdoor festivals (from May to December) Talking about Chatenois is somewhat difficult without mentioning Scherwiller. Because the two villages have formed a sort of partnership (not to mention that they are less than 2 miles away from each other) although they are separate villages. And between the two villages, you’ll find 15 wine makers to try out plus 10 restaurants so it may be a small village but you could easily spend the day here wine tasting, hiking and eating great food!
