On this circular route you can visit Fleckenstein Castle (only) from the outside (also possible without admission).

After visiting it, my next recommendation is to walk around it on its small circular path.

Due to its dimensions (length: 92 m, average width: 12 m, average height: 26 m), Fleckenstein Castle is considered one of the most powerful and impressive castles in the Northern Vosges Mountains. The Barony was among the most important in the region. Divided into six bailiwicks, it owned a total of 35 villages. The Fleckenstein family played a political role as early as the 12th century. The family line died out in 1720.

Fleckenstein Castle has been rebuilt several times. Little remains of the original medieval castle, apart from the main entrance. At the beginning of the 14th century, the inner courtyard was lowered by several meters and surrounded by a curtain wall. A staircase hewn into the rock leads to the rock platform. The castle chapel was located above the original entrance hall, now a museum. The well is protected by a massive shaft tower.

From the beginning of the 15th century, a massive rectangular barbican fortified the main entrance.
