Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg and the Vosges

Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg is a monumental medieval castle perched atop a hill in the Vosges, restored at the beginning of the 20th century, offering sweeping views over the Alsatian plain, vineyards, and, on a clear day, distant mountains. The fortified towers, ramparts, and inner courtyards evoke life in a medieval stronghold. The surrounding Vosges offer forested landscapes and scenic viewpoints, making a visit to the castle a natural complement to a drive through the mountains.
