Marbach Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

It is worthwhile to walk along the wall and to look at the terrain inside

The way to the 3 castle ruins is sometimes a bit steep, but very easy to walk on. Especially in the high heat during our stay at the end of July 2019, hiking in the forest was very pleasant. From time to time banks invite you to rest.
Water should not be forgotten! There is no way to stop at least on the way to the Trois Chateaux.
There are all nationalities represented - and here in the country one greets each other even though one does not know each other or does not speak the language :) That used to be commonplace - but seems to be getting more and more out of fashion ... :(

View of Les Trois Châteaux

Highlight • Castle

The three keep castles, which stand on the hilltop of the Schlossberg, dominate the Alsatian plain from a height of 591 meters. They were built in the 11th and 12th centuries.

In the center is Wahlenbourg, the oldest. To the north is Dagsbourg, and to the south, Weckmund, built in the 12th century.

The castles were destroyed in 1466 during the Six Denarius War.
