On the slope below La Petite-Pierre stands this extraordinary, castle-like house – almost like something out of a fairy tale. Even though it’s not a real castle, it’s located in an area with an impressive history: for centuries, La Petite-Pierre was a strategically important fortress between Alsace and Lorraine.  High above the valley sits the Château de La Petite-Pierre, whose origins date back to the 12th century and was later expanded into a fortress by Vauban.  The slopes around the village were once characterized by craftsmen, forest workers, and small businesses – many buildings were later rebuilt or newly constructed in the “castle-like” style. Today, this spot is a real insider tip: perfect view, quiet location, and an almost magical atmosphere between forest, rocks, and history.

There's a bakery here that's open for lunch, and two restaurants. Apart from that, I can't think of anything that makes this place a highlight.

Archaeological excavations are currently uncovering the former Benedictine Abbey of St. Gangolf, so everything can only be seen through the construction fence. The excavation is next to the Protestant church.
