Fleckenstein Castle is an impregnable 12th century citadel which dominates the Vosges and Palatine forest. This fort is called troglodyte, that is to say that it was erected directly in the rock. Only ruins remain today, but it is possible to walk there and still appreciate certain architectural elements.
