Not sure actually, but dont thinks that is why... so I asked AI: The name "Turckheim" has its roots in the German language, as the area was historically part of the German-speaking region of Alsace-Lorraine. The name is derived from two German words: "Turck" and "heim." The word "Turck" is believed to have originated from the name of an early Frankish tribe called the "Thoringi" or "Turcilingi," which inhabited the area in ancient times. Over time, the name evolved and became "Turck."
Enjoyed this tour, as pre-Covid we have holidayed there regularly and it was good to see the gite where we stay. But like so many of the Walking Tours Only videos it seems badly planned and misses out on key sites in the town as if the cameraman is just wandering round at random and doesn't really know where he is going. It begins with one of the town's medieval gates, Porte de France, but completely misses out on the other two which would have been easy to include and would have made the tour more interesting if the route had been planned in advance by looking at a map first. By leaving through the historic Porte de Muster or Porte de Brand briefly, it could have shown the hillsides covered in vines which make Turckheim's famous wines and the outside of the remaining city walls with houses built into them.
@@milesburgoyne1890 I'm going this year. All these videos do if one a flavour of a place and many people want to see different things, you cannot please everyone.
@@who9387 Done get me wrong.I love Alsace and the walking tours of all the villages are a great reminder of all the places we've visited. I've watched them lots during lockdown when I haven't been able to go. All these tours have been good. I suppose that having been to so many places I'm aware of lovely parts of the town's that have been missed. But they do an excellent job of giving a flavour of the places. I hope you enjoy your visits as much as we have.

Miles Burgoyne - Your whingeing is unjustified, if you don't like i do it yourself.
@@who9387 Have you been there? Do you know the place well? As a professional I believe planning in advance is essential.
