ドイツから来たサンティアゴ・デ・コンポステーラの道にある美しい小さな村。

👍

At the end of the ridge, at an altitude of 443 meters, lies Ortenbourg Castle, built between 1260 and 1265 by Rudolf Habsburg and one of the most beautiful ruins in the Rhine Valley. A masterpiece of military architecture, with its high gorge surrounding a 32-meter-long dungeon, it is visible from afar and blends perfectly into the landscape. This dungeon offered six levels of defensive fire, and its pentagonal design allowed for better deflection of attackers' projectiles. The recently founded association "Les sentinelles de l'Ortenbourg" (Ortenbourg Sentinels) aims to preserve, expand, and revitalize the castle.

Magnificent pass to climb from different slopes (Breitenbach, Steige, Vallée de la Bruche, Andlau). It is also a crossing point towards the Champ du feu, the Hohwald, the Mont Ste Odile.

The route is completely paved and essentially car-free, as signs prohibit it. Nevertheless, someone occasionally drives along here. The route is very pleasant and beautiful, tucked away in the forest.

The climb is on the other side of the hill. The sign indicates a decline. The climb or decline is 10 meters long, but probably less. Funny sign, otherwise a normal bike path.
