The Upper Gate was built in the 14th century and renovated in the 16th century.

During the week and outside of the holidays, the crowds are bearable

One of the most beautiful rooms in the castle. Weapons and armor can be admired here.

Actually, everything that needs to be said about the castle has already been said. I would like to mention the entrance fees as a positive point. Adults €12, with a guided tour €14 All parking is free, whether in the forest parking lot or on the access road. When I think of Hohenzollern Castle in Hechingen, though...🙆

Of all the towns, we liked Riquewihr the best. We really enjoyed the small streets with their charming restaurants.

Eguisheim is definitely worth a visit. Its beautiful old town is a must.

The upper city gate, the Dolder (1291), was built at the same time as the first fortifications at the end of the 13th century and served as a defensive tower, watchtower, and bell tower. In Alsatian, "Dolder" means "highest point, peak." At 25 meters high, this tower threatened the enemy with the stark and warlike appearance of its exterior, while the inner facade, facing the city, had delighted the inhabitants since the 16th century with its attractive arrangement of wooden beams and four corbelled vaults. Its first level formed one of the starting points of the patrol path that ran along the top of the ramparts around the city.

Amazing scenery! Not only do you have the steep, beautiful vineyards around you, but also the magnificent Vosges in the distance! Absolute paradise :)
