Map / Windstein
Ideally situated at the bottom of a valley, the small rural village of Windstein has a population of just over one hundred. The castles of "Vieux Windstein" (Old Windstein) and "Nouveau Windstein" (New Windstein), both milestones on the Chemin des Châteaux forts d?Alsace, rise majestically from its heights. The Maginot Line hiking trail, which links R?schwoog in northern Alsace to Bitche in Moselle, allows visitors to discover the World War II blockhouses scattered around the village. Between nature and heritage, Windstein is a choice destination for hikers and climbers in an unspoilt setting.
