オーバーホッフェン-レス-ウィッセンブルグの洞窟・トップ10

The Lauter Bridge is right next to it. The German text on the information board is somewhat misleading (20 km long bridge). Please compare it with the English or French text.

Very beautiful hiking trail with lots of highlights. Marked with the "red-white-red" marking.

A classic is the castle route across the German-French border near Nothweiler. Great paths and fantastic views.

There was once a mill at the site near the Lauter, of which only the remains of the mill canal and the foundation walls can be seen. There was a castle a little further south: Trimmich was the eastern castle located in all directions of Weißenburg. There was also a mill there on the Lauter until German soldiers reduced the place to rubble in 1939. There is almost nothing left of either. But some foundation walls can be made out in the thicket.

At this point you will find a partially fortified mill canal to the mill in the thicket that was burned down by German soldiers in 1939. The mill is mentioned on the sign on the bridge over the Lauter. The remains of the castle are about 200 meters south of here.

The Iron Maiden (an execution tool from the Middle Ages) is a fortification tower

The Château de Lœwenstein is a castle ruin from the 13th century. It was built on two sandstone rocks lying next to each other. The main castle is to the east and the outer bailey is a little lower to the west. Remains of a stair tower and stairs carved into the rock have been preserved. It was destroyed in the 14th century. It is possible that it was used as an outpost for the Hohenbourg and Fleckenstein castles. From the platform of the two parts of the rock there is a magnificent view over the forests of the Northern Vosges and the adjacent Palatinate Forest. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgruine_L%C3%B6wenstein

The Iron Maiden is a device said to have been used to torture and execute people. It is a wooden or metal hollow body, usually in the form of a woman, which was studded with nails or thorns protruding inwards. Source: Wikipedia
