シュレットシュタットの絶景の山頂・トップ4

The large wall at the rear of the ruins has been reinforced. The keep is also now dilapidated. To prevent anyone from climbing the tower, the lower staircase has been removed.

The castle of Haut-Ribeaupierre (Hohrappoltstein) was probably built during the turmoil of the Interregnum around the mid-13th century. It served as an outpost at a time when the King of France was planning to invade Alsace. Later, it served as an observation tower for early warning of forest fires. The entire castle complex is dominated by an imposing circular keep, which offers a magnificent view of the Alsatian plain and the surrounding mountain ridges.

Coming from the top, you can descend a short distance to the right and reach a plateau in front. Here you can also take a short rest with a great view.

Beautiful rocky path with great views

In the immediate vicinity of the Peace Rock there is a viewpoint that offers a beautiful view as far as the Black Forest

Very technical, not suitable for beginners.

The "path" that Komoot says leads to the viewpoint from the north is a very narrow and steep path. I aborted the climb (or I didn't find the right path...). The routes from the south-west and south-east, on the other hand, are much better. While I was at the lookout, several joggers and a cyclist also came across the trails. The southwestern route is not a detour as an alternative to the northern variant.

The Château du Haut-Ribeaupierre is an imposing castle complex that rises on a rock above the town of Ribeauvillé in Alsace, France. The castle, also known as the Upper Castle of Ribeauvillé, has a rich history dating back to the 12th century. The Château du Haut-Ribeaupierre consists of several buildings and towers surrounded by a defensive wall. It is a stunning example of medieval architecture and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, including the vineyards of Alsace. The castle played an important strategic role during the Middle Ages and was inhabited by various noble families, including the Lords of Ribeaupierre. Over the centuries the castle was destroyed and rebuilt several times. Today, ruins and parts of the original structure still remain.
