This small castle is nowhere near as impressive as its two neighboring castles. But the climb is still worth it.

Fantastic view. Anyone attempting this should be free from vertigo. The descent is very steep and deep.

The view from the tower is excellent. The climb is definitely worth it. Be careful when climbing the stairs. At times (at window level), some steps are longer than others.

Elongated rock castle above the Zorn valley, southwest of Saverne. After a varied history, it has been state property for approx. 150 years. Varied structures from different eras in the inner courtyard. Great view over the Rhine valley and the northern Vosges.

Presumably, the small and large Geroldseck were once built together. Today, remnants of the ruins can still be seen, but they are still worth seeing.
