Built in the thirteenth century, the castle of La Petite Pierre and its fortifications were extensively modernized by Vauban in 1684. The castle was a strategic location that allowed control of a passage between Alsace and Lorraine. Found at: tourisme-alsace.com/de/217003784-Burg-von-La-Petite-Pierre.html. The Château de La Petite-Pierre is beautifully situated at the end of the road with a view of the valley. It lies extremely prominently at the end of a mountain spur that protrudes far into the valley. The castle, which did not suffer an artillery siege, is now the administrative headquarters of the Northern Vosges Regional Natural Park, declared a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO.

La Petite-Pierre

Highlight • Settlement

At the foot of the Northern Vosges lies the pleasant little town of La Petite-Pierre. From there, there is an extensive view of the forested mountains. This colorful town is very charming with its half-timbered houses, but it is small. It is said to have just over 600 inhabitants. There are around ten restaurants there. The Hôtel des Vosges deserves a special mention: it offers a breathtaking view of the wooded valley and the Lützelstein castle.
