Hohenbourg

The castle is ingeniously built in and around a high sandstone spur. Many remains of the wall can still be seen here. The architectural style and engraved dates suggest different epochs. The view from the highest point is impressive. Two panels explain the panorama. In this respect, this castle far surpasses the much more extensive but also lower-lying area of Fleckenstein Castle.

Well-preserved castle with a beautiful view of Fleckenstein Castle and, in the other direction, of Wegelnburg.

The Hohenbourg lives up to its name.
With 551 vertical meters, it allows great views of the surrounding area.
A tip from a friend: A full moon night in clear weather on the Hohenbourg you never forget!

Located in the immediate vicinity of the Wegelnburg and the Löwenstein ruins, it is also worth taking a look at the details of the masonry on the Hohenbourg that are still recognizable. Much of the 16th-century Ranaissance-style decoration can still be seen.

Very, very worth seeing facility with fantastic vision

Above the Fleckenstein castle ruins on the 550 meter high Schlossberg. Built at the beginning of the 13th century by the old Alsatian family of Puller, later changing owners. Destroyed in 1680.

Surprisingly well-preserved castle, which marks the second part of the local castle series. Again, the view is very good. On the tower, there is a circular "shield" on which all the surrounding castles are located. Nice detour for every way.

Very beautiful rock castle with gates and stairs and some beautiful stone carvings on archways and friezes.

Reasonably well-preserved forecourt - this makes the approach interesting. The viewing platform is quite small and accessible by steep stairs.
Since the view is phenomenal and there is also an all-round orientation board, you should make the journey (and possibly wait).

Great view - especially on the ruin Fleckenstein.

Stairs and ladder very steep!

The Hohenburg (French: Château du Hohenbourg) is the ruins of a rock castle in northern Alsace (France) near the border with Germany. It rises at a height of 551 m on the Schlossberg.

The castle ruins can be visited free of charge all year round. From the top you have a great view over the surrounding area to Germany and France.

Grandiose view over the Vosges and the Wasgau. You think you are a bird. And you should enjoy the silence and sounds of nature up there.
