The Landskron ruins are very large ruins with lots of exciting corners and towers that invite you to linger. The view is wonderful. There are a few picnic areas, all in all a well-kept and really beautiful place. Funny signs warn of falling rocks and other dangers that you should be aware of. Always enter at your own risk. If you behave appropriately, it is absolutely worth a visit!

Hiking

Landskron is located in Alsace, on French soil. It is one of the most important and impressive castle ruins in the area. Entry is free. There are numerous barbecue areas in and around the castle that are waiting to be lit. From the top of the tower, you get a unique view of Alsace, the Vosges, the Black Forest and the Rhine plain. Anyone who visits Château du Landskron should definitely pay a visit to the Mariastein monastery in "nearby" Switzerland.
