At the exit of Barr turn left towards the castle of Landsberg. This very small road rises in twists and turns in the vineyard with superb views. Continue after the Maison Forestière on the left. Cars are prohibited, the surface is no longer young and itches a little, but this quiet path allows you to catch up with the road to St Odile. There is then approximately 4 km of ascent.

Château du Birkenfels

Highlight • Castle

The Château du Birkenfels is perched on a rocky outcrop in the Vosges Mountains and offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The origins of the castle date back to the 13th century and although it now exists in ruins, it bears witness to its former splendor and strength. The remains of the castle include parts of the defensive walls, towers and chapels. The Birkenfels was strategically important and played a role in the defense of the region during the Middle Ages. Today, the castle ruins are a popular destination for history buffs and nature lovers who want to explore the ruins and enjoy the spectacular views.
