The Haut-Koenigsbourg, whose contraction means the king's high castle, offers hikers and lovers of fortified castles a gateway to the Middle Ages.
Built in the 12th century, it has undergone several renovations over the years.

It is the highest castle on the trail of the fortified castles of Alsace which once marked the border between France and Germany. Its privileged position offers unobstructed views of the plain of Alsace, the Black Forest and sometimes even the Alps.

If we imagine the strategic advantage that this represented in times of war, we can take advantage today of this boon for the simple pleasure of the eyes.

Very nice view from the castle of the Rheineben and across to the Black Forest (but only if it's not foggy).

Haut-Koenigsbourg in Orschwiller/France, always worth a visit. Restored from a ruined castle to a museum castle in the early 1900s using the most modern means of the time. Since the Haut-Koenigsbourg is a popular excursion destination, a lot of people are to be expected. Easy to reach by car, so touristically developed.
