Lembach - Gimbelhof Clearing - View of Fleckenstein CastlePhoto: © C.FLEITH - ADT, CC BY, MASSIF DES VOSGES
Witnesses of the region's tumultuous past, many medieval fortress castles have overlooked the forests of the Northern Vosges - Pfälzerwald Transboundary Biosphere Reserve for generations. Built between the 12th and mid-14th centuries on impressive rocky outcrops, these castles, mostly semi-troglodytic, often seem to be one with their rocky support and offer superb panoramas.
