The three keep castles, which stand on the hilltop of the Schlossberg, dominate the Alsatian plain from a height of 591 meters. They were built in the 11th and 12th centuries.

In the center is Wahlenbourg, the oldest. To the north is Dagsbourg, and to the south, Weckmund, built in the 12th century.

The castles were destroyed in 1466 during the Six Denarius War.

Great and varied tour through vineyards and the foothills of the Vosges. The climax of the three castles at a height of approx. 580 is really worth seeing. You can do it again.

Beautiful hike which also passes through beautiful typical Alsatian alleys.
The time of the hike does not correspond without me being able to explain it we took 3h30 taking our time at the level of the castles

Eguisheim is a highlight among the villages in Alsace. You have to see it if you like medieval towns.
Many stork nests were occupied in the city.
The hike to the three castles was tough with a 400 m climb. Unfortunately, one of the markings was missing and it was partially re-marked. I would have liked to throw Rother's hiking …
