Here you make a real border experience - the Schlossberg has two peaks - one on the German and one on the French side. The border runs over the saddle in between. And right at the border there is still a refuge, the refuge Kaiser-Wilhelm-Stein. What is your snack time? Rather red wine and baguette or at least Saumagen and beer? ;)

Hiking

The Kaiser-Wilhelm-Stein refuge is solidly built and ideal for a rest even in bad weather.
It is located on the German-French border.
There is clearly a green border here...

Here the hiking trail crosses the green border to France. Old boundary stones show the course of the border.
