EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled in the picturesque commune of Goldbach-Altenbach, in the Haut-Rhin department of Alsace, France, this quaint café with its green tree exterior stands as a testament to the region's rich history and the belief in the healing powers of nature. Circa the 1910s, this photograph captures a moment in time when the commune of Goldbach was a popular destination for those seeking the health-giving properties of the high altitude fresh air. Situated in the Vosges Mountains, Goldbach-Altenbach offered visitors an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, promising a chance to breathe in the crisp, clean mountain air, and rejuvenate the body and mind. The belief in the therapeutic benefits of high altitude air was not a new concept, with many European resorts, including Goldbach, attracting visitors since the late 18th century. The café, with its verdant tree exterior, serves as a welcoming beacon for weary travelers, offering a respite from their journey. The tree, a symbol of nature's renewal and growth, adds to the idyllic setting, further emphasizing the connection between the commune and the natural world. As visitors gathered around the café tables, sipping their coffee or tea, they would take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, feeling the invigorating effects of the fresh air on their lungs and their spirits. The café, with its simple yet charming ambiance, continues to draw visitors to this day, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the timeless appeal of nature's healing powers.
