Château du Loewenstein

Highlight • Historical Site

Löwenstein Castle (also called Lindenschmitt and Löwenburg) was first mentioned in the 13th century. The castle was destroyed in 1386 due to robber barons and was probably not rebuilt.

A very beautiful ruin with a wonderful view from both platforms.

View of Château de Fleckenstein

Highlight • Viewpoint

Fleckenstein Castle is an impregnable 12th century citadel which dominates the Vosges and Palatine forest. This fort is called troglodyte, that is to say that it was erected directly in the rock. Only ruins remain today, but it is possible to walk there and still appreciate certain architectural elements.

Panoramic view of Fleckenstein castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Shortly after the Gimpelhof you can see the castle from afar, but there is still a long way to go.
