    Hiking

    As a former Free Imperial City, Kaysersberg boasts its imperial castle. Built around 1200 to block the roads coming from Lorraine, it was a strategically important location in the war between the Holy Roman Empire and the Dukes of Lorraine. A massive cylindrical keep, one of the oldest round keeps in Alsace, with walls over 4 meters thick, is a sight to behold in itself.

    Within these walls and under the keep's protection, you can also admire the lord's residence with its pointed-arch windows!
