Tips from the Community
From here you can walk around the l'Étang Fleckenstein, with a small part of the path running along the road. If you wish, you can take the leisurely path to the Château Fort du Fleckenstein via Gimbelhof, or a steep, shorter path at the other end of the pond. The public, free car park and also the paths to the Château are on the other side of the road; - not on the side of the pond. A circular route to the former fortress is just under 7 km long.

The lifting gear is technically almost unique in Europe. It connects one end of the canal with the other.

A very large selection of cakes. A true French patisserie. The staff speaks excellent German. Sandwiches are also available for purchase. Seating is available inside and outside for dining! Highly recommended!
