Château du Grand Géroldseck

Highlight • Castle

The castle is considered a typical Adelburg castle of the Staufer period. The castle is situated on a steep rocky plateau sloping to all sides. The castle was surrounded by a strong curtain wall, which still today imposingly raises it from the ground. The castle originally had an outer bailey, where today the hiking trail stretches along the castle. At the entrance of the castle is still the keep, which was preserved on one side in its full height. In the northwest is the Palas with its outbuildings

Haut-Barr Castle

Highlight • Castle

Very large castle above Saverne with fantastic views over the Vosges and the Rhine Valley. In good weather, the Strasbourg Cathedral can be seen from the castle. 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.
