When pictures say more than words. This is not only a beautifull ruin, it's also great environment with a fabulous view. On top of the hill are 2 ancient fortresses, side by side. Volunteers are at work every saturday. From the parking, it's a 30 minutes walk through the forest to the top of the hill. You will not regret.

A magnificent place to visit set up on the heights of the Vosges mountains and overlooking the plane of Alsace, you'll discover the very well preserved ruins of 2 medieval castles after a 35 minutes scenery hick. Easily accessible for families with kids and dog friendly. The castle ruins are open to visit during the weeekays from Tuesday to Saturday included, from 09h00 to 17h00.

I think i worked on this castle in 1997 when i was a student, and lived in that little cabin, for one month. I went through a groups called "Chantier d'études médiévales à Strasbourg." it was a really fascinating experience, i was 20 years old and we were about 15 students from 8 or 9 countries. There was an absolutely insane Serbian foreman running the project. The guy in charge of the students was Benoit, he was doing his national military seevice. We could walk to Ottrott in 20 minutes and to Mont St Odile in about 2 hours. I think i went there 4 or 5 times, such an amazing hike and destination. I will scan my photos and upload them here, they're from August 1997. We worked on the walls and the garden, and the worst part by far was pulling out the stinging nettles. Also, we had no electricity and almost no water. I bathed once a week, it was disgusting lol. But totally worth it!
