At an altitude of 480 meters above the small community of Lichtenberg in the northern Vosges, the castle ruins of the same name lie. You can visit the castle and see the changing exhibitions housed there. Or simply enjoy the beautiful view of the Vosges. Information about the castle is available (even in German) here: chateaudelichtenberg.com/index.php

From Wikipedia
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Lichtenberg_(Alsace)

The castle is surrounded by a wide, deep moat that allows access in only one place. Standing on the moat, the castle shows only high smooth walls without windows. Inside the castle complex there are terraces and meadows next to the buildings. Modern exhibition rooms are integrated in the former "western house" from the 15th and 16th centuries with its round windows, which are unusual for Alsace. The 16th-century 'arsenal of arms' has been converted into a large exhibition space and a cantilevered auditorium has been added which juts out from the old structure of the castle. From the artillery terrace of 1840 there is a wide view all around. Parts of the castle complex and all exhibition rooms are barrier-free accessible.

A late Gothic castle chapel is well preserved. It was dedicated to the Trinity. A portrait of Saint Christopher was painted on the side facing the towers.[1] The chapel also served the town of Lichtenberg itself as a church, since it did not have its own.

This place has a lovely view over the surrounding area, has picknick benches for a proper lunch or bikepackingdinner. We even rolled out our bivi's and spend the night. TIP the cemetery provided water and we found this very convenient on our trip!
