A very beautiful hike in an enchanting area that leads us to 3 castle ruins and 2 viewpoint rocks. It goes through beautiful mixed forest and often on paths or grassy trails. However, the return through the vineyards is somewhat long and also runs mostly on paved roads.

Castle ruins overlooking the Alsace Wine RouteSurrounded by vineyards, the picturesque wine-growing town of Dambach-la-Ville, with its half-timbered houses, nestles against the foothills of the Vosges Mountains at the transition to the Upper Rhine Plain. The medieval town center alone, with its city walls and gates, is worth a visit, as are the castle ruins we’ll explore during our hike. Because of its proximity to the famous Haut-Kœnigsbourg, which is right next door, it’s still relatively quiet here.

    ein wirklich schöner Weg. Viel im Wald. Ich persönlich hätte dem Weg eher 3 Sterne für Fitness gegeben, kann aber daran liegen, dass ich nicht so fit bin 😉 Haben die Runde mit Hund gemacht. Unbedingt Wasser mitnehmen, da keine Wasserstelle vorhanden. Auch Bänke gibt's nicht viele. Aber wir hatten gutes Wetter und konnten uns in die Wiesen legen. Wie gesagt, alles in allem eine schöne Tour Lieben Dank Thomas
