From there, for a change, you don't see the Rhine Valley but Lorraine. Unfortunately, the view has grown in the meantime.

Located not far from the small village of Geroldseck, there are more ruins here. If you look up at the castle from below, you'll see that it's built on massive sandstone, which is impressive in itself.

Awesome tour, highly recommended. Another pirated copy of @Waldhexe and @Juliet* - you have to know who you're copying from 😂 Thank you!
If you don't like rocks, overgrown castle ruins, or steep climbs, this tour isn't suitable... Otherwise, I was once again a victim of circumstance, sorry.
On top of that, today was the first time in at least …

A wonderful tour with many hiking trails. Somewhat strenuous climb but always great views. Unfortunately, there is currently no rain to clean the air again -> better visibility.

April 23, 2022,Vogesen: Saverne 4-Burgen Tour

After more than a year it worked again. Marcus, Nicole and I were able to find a date for a tour together. We met in the parking lot next to the Château des Rohan de Saverne. The parking is free.

1st day of the short vacation with Juliet. From the Palatinate to Saverne in Alsace, first comfortably checked into the hotel - so that you already know where to go in the evening.

Hello friends of good hiking,

Today we were out and about in the Vosges in France again. Another wonderful tour, we spent a lot of time on narrow paths. Of course the road surface in Saverne is asphalt. We did a little tour of the town without really having a destination. There really wasn't enough time, just to get an …

April 23, 2025,Nordvogesen - Die Burgen von Saverne

A beautiful loop, passing the castles around Savern. Great paths and trails, very well marked. Castles that blend into the sandstone. It's very impressive. The grotto and garden of St. Vit is a magical place. This was my highlight of the tour.
