The Haut-Koenigsbourg, whose contraction means the king's high castle, offers hikers and lovers of fortified castles a gateway to the Middle Ages.
Built in the 12th century, it has undergone several renovations over the years.

It is the highest castle on the trail of the fortified castles of Alsace which once marked the border between France and Germany. Its privileged position offers unobstructed views of the plain of Alsace, the Black Forest and sometimes even the Alps.

If we imagine the strategic advantage that this represented in times of war, we can take advantage today of this boon for the simple pleasure of the eyes.

Rather steep descent, but good quality roads! It's worth being careful of the other vehicles sharing the road, but it's certainly an enjoyable descent after a long and hefty climb!

Schaentzel House

Highlight • Historical Site

A little west of Haut-Kœnigsbourg, the pass connects the Alsatian vineyards towards the Rhine with the valley of the Lièpvrette (Liver Valley) aka Val d'Argent.

Lynx Fountain

Highlight • Rest Area

This traditional fountain offers hikers access to drinking water and an unobstructed and splendid view of the village of Thannenkirch.

Be careful, in summer the flow can be much lower and not guarantee access to water.
