Nature and Trails
A circular trail in the Parc naturel régional des Vosges du Nord leads towards the Château de la Wasenbourg and, on a forest hike, takes in remains from Celtic, Roman and medieval times. Another circular trail in the Parc naturel régional des Vosges du Nord leads to the Grand Wintersberg, the highest point in the Vosges du Nord at 581 m, and offers views over the Vosges du Nord, the Alsatian plain and the Black Forest.
The ruins of the Château de la Wasenbourg date from the 13th century. They are accessible exclusively on foot, in about one hour from the town centre, and offer a remarkable view over the Alsatian plain as far as the Black Forest.
