Alsatian Storks

We are planning a spring trip to France and Switzerland (maybe adding Italy and Austria)

After reading about the wild storks in the Alsace, I thought about organizing a week in Munster France, though the pictures and map suggest we might enjoy a village along the Alsatian Wine Road more. We leaning toward Riquewehr Or a nearby village and plan to spend a day in Strausborg. Do you have thoughts or suggestions that could ensure we see nesting storks outside stork parks? Recommendations on 3-5 day stay in the Alsace. We've been to Colmar and aren't really interested in a day of winetasting.

In June, 2012 we saw storks and nests in Eguisheim. There were nests on the chimneys of the chateau. They have a Stork Festival in June, I think. We weren't there for it.

Colmar is where we saw the most storks, particularly on the cathedral.
