The view is magnificent from the top of the tower which is accessible

even without the sun, always happy to see it appear!!

Magnificent 360º viewpoint over the Northern Vosges.

The Wasenburg was built in 1280 by Konrad von Lichtenberg on a castle site dating back to the 8th century. The castle was damaged in the Peasants' War and was almost destroyed by French troops in 1677. The huge nine-part magnificent window with seven rosettes is remarkable - a work of art that the stonemasons carved out of a single piece of sandstone. It is probably the most beautiful castle window of all Alsatian castles. The mighty shield wall, a bay window and the fireplace in the palace are also well preserved. A memorial plaque commemorates Goethe's visit in 1770, who came up here because of the magnificent window and the excellent view from the spa town of Niederbronn-les-Bains.

Observation tower on the Großer Wintersberg with a wonderful view over the Northern Vosges, the Palatinate Forest and the Upper Rhine plain to the Black Forest. At 581m above sea level, the Großer Wintersberg is the highest mountain in the Northern Vosges.

The Wasenburg (French Château du Wasenbourg) is the ruin of a medieval rock castle in Alsace. The castle stands on a 432 meter high northern foothills of the Reisberg above Niederbronn-les-Bains and the Falkensteinerbachtal, an important connection between Bitche and the Upper Rhine Plain. Nothing is known about the founding of the castle. The castle of Duke Luitfried may have stood here as early as 730. The first reports are from 1280, when Konrad von Lichtenberg expanded the (probably already existing) castle. Source: Wikipedia.

After about an hour you reach the Wasenburg ruins from Niederbronn-les-Bains. Nice view over the plain.

Wonderful all-round view 🏞️😍🗼
