Pagan Wall of Frankenbourg

Highlight • Other

An old wall is hidden below the ruins - similar to the eternally long one on the Odilien Berg. Again the question arose how the heck the people at that time could work on and transport these huge blocks without reasonable tools and without a crane, provided that the wall should actually be a building from the Bronze Age.

Highlight • Castle

A wonderfully situated castle with magnificent views in all directions. In front of the castle is a flat meadow with a picnic table.

Col du Frankenbourg Shelter

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Unfortunately there is no water here. But the hut has a room with a table and benches and a separate level bedroom.
It has a door that can be closed. The hut looks neat.
In front of the hut are two picnic tables.

Rondes Roches

Highlight • Natural Monument

And a few more beautiful rock formations with an adjacent meadow.
I liked the fish with the eye and the mouth open the best.

View from Rocher du Coucou

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view of the Rhine plain and the Hochkönigsburg is very nice. There is also a bench to sit on. There are shadows too.
