The ruins of the Schauenburg above the town of Oberkirch are worth a visit. Entry is free. In the castle there is a plaque about the history of the castle. The view is also impressive. At the foot of the ruin is an inn.

Beautiful castle ruins with great views, in good weather to Strasbourg Cathedral. Great for kids to romp around.

A very nice well-kept castle ruins. One of the most diverse I have seen. There is also a refreshment spot on site. If you bring your own snack, I recommend a stop at the Hussar Monument.
