Hiking

On the heights of Thann, this 13th century castle offers a magnificent view of the city. Commonly called the Eye of the Witch, it owes this name to the remnant of the old dungeon which recalls this form.

Great panorama of the Thann valley. Difficult access by mountain bike but the place is worth it.
