Geography
The village is positioned about ten kilometres (six miles) south of Haguenau: the surrounding countryside is largely taken up with agriculture. Through the south-eastern side of the commune runs the departmental road RD 37, and beside that the rather indirect railway line that connects Haguenau with Strasbourg to the south.

gollark: I think.
gollark: You can disable that with `set list.show_hidden true`.
gollark: Yep!
