Là-Haut Restaurant

Highlight • Other

The Là-Haut restaurant is modernly furnished and offers typical Alsatian cuisine.
Tested and found to be delicious! Friendly host and good service. In summer there is a beer garden outside.

Four of us were there on a Saturday lunchtime and had to wait for a table, so for larger groups it's better to reserve in advance.
There used to be a restaurant here - if you believe the usual review portals, the quality has improved significantly with the new operators.

The top of the rocks can be reached by stairs, with a walkway dubbed the “Devil's Bridge” also connecting two of these rocks. The castle is managed - there is a restaurant. The castle can be visited without admission.
