Hotel Au Cheval Blanc

Highlight • Restaurant

Great hotel with relatively cheap room prices and an excellent restaurant (high quality, high prices).
The Zinck family has been running the house for several generations - they are excellent hosts. Also suitable for families (mini golf, billiards room, games in the salon, ...)

After a long hiking tour, you can even take a dip in the pool (or, in winter, heat yourself up again in the sauna)

Obersteinbach

Highlight • Restaurant

Very nice little place on the German-French border with two little churches, some inns and great old half-timbered and red sandstone buildings.

Lookout Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

Through the "eye" of the Wachtfelsen you have a good view of Obersteinbach and the surrounding area. That's where the name comes from ...
At the same time he is named after a restaurant in town.

Petit-Arnsberg Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Château du PETIT ARNSBOURG was first mentioned in 1335 when the von Wasigenstein brothers received the castle from the Weißenburg Abbey as a fief. At that time it served as a pure mansion with a few changes of ownership. Around the year 1485 the Counts of Zweibrücken-Bitsch received the castle. Under their rule, the Kleine Arnsburg was rebuilt and expanded. During the Thirty Years War the castle was then destroyed and never rebuilt. From the ruins we enjoy a wonderful view of Obersteinbach.

Wolfsfelsen Rock

Highlight • Other

Steep rock face just before the Petit Arnsbourg. Certainly a top location for climbers, but currently closed (mid-April) because of the breeding season of the kestrels!

Klingelfels

Highlight • Natural Monument

Nice little rock, located right next to the parking lot so easy to get to. From the Klingenfels, it is still a relatively short distance to the Wasigenstein castle ruins.
