There is a large seating area under the trees at the foot of the castle. An ideal place for a snack break

Waldeck Castle is a medieval castle built at the end of the 13th century for the Duke of Lorraine. The site is accessed by a path that starts from the Etang de Waldeck, a panoramic pond that is reached by the hamlet of Bannstein. The castle is made up of three rocky outcrops, each housing a different fortification. The most impressive is the southern one, where you can admire the remains of a crenellated tower and a Gothic vault. The castle offers a panoramic view of the surrounding forest and the plain of Alsace. You can also explore the underground rooms, stairways and cisterns that bear witness to the castle's past life. Waldeck Castle is a historical and natural treasure that will enchant you with its romantic atmosphere.
