그랑퐁텐‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪4‬개의 동굴

Access to the area restricted by huge gates

A ruin of a forgotten castle, like so many others in our beautiful Vosges mountains. A gravel bike ride that I really enjoyed.

The castle viewpoint is no longer accessible, following work (May 1, 2025)

Beautiful castle with phenomenal view. Although it is a climb, this mini walk will not be a problem for many people. Well worth the effort to go and have a look here.

Ruins rather interesting to observe, but informative panels would have been welcome to better discover the site! ⚠️ Besides, when I passed there, the ♦️/+ yellow path (from the crossroads after the Old Forest House of Gros Chêne to the Storindal Meadow) was punctuated with chains and 'Private Property' signs ⛔ ''. There are no/no more markers/signs indicating the presence of the castle, and it was difficult to then reach Saint Quirin (large sections made inaccessible).

Located right by La Roche des Fees

Schirmeck Castle is a medieval building erected during the 13th century. Destroyed during the war, the inhabitants used the ruins to build the bell tower of the village as well as their house. In 1969, the municipality decided to restore part of it. It is now open to the public. The panorama offered by its tower is majestic.
