It is not an "insider tip" the destinations can be quite full, in good weather. But it is still worth it to have visited once!
Good link for an overview: selestat-haut-koenigsbourg.com/en
The "Monkey Mountain" is a beautiful loop in the forest. In this forest live freely around the 250 Barbary apes. At the entrance, each visitor receives a handful of popcorn, with which the monkeys can be fed directly from the hand. There are regular feedings where further information is well communicated by a guide. Despite the excitement it is very nice to observe and feed the monkey families.
Infrastructure is well proportioned to such "attractions" (parking, toilet, snack)
Greifvogelwarte "Adlerburg": Analogously, there is also a bird of prey visit with great air show of the beautiful animals! The whole thing in front of a breathtaking panorama. Again: No secret tip but well worth seeing!
Burg HautKoenigsburg: A very impressive castle with a very interesting history! During a Fanil excursion, she certainly breaks the framework that you have to give her (in time) to fully visit this very elaborately restored castle. But there is a fixed circular route, which provides even with children in a manageable time quite interesting impressions - and a unique panorama!
Alsace is much more than this (worth seeing) HotSpot! It takes above all time and peace to get to know the very special charm of this region.
