Beautiful view of the valley.

Frankenbourg Castle has been officially closed since April 2025 due to rockfall. You can only get within a few hundred meters. Unfortunately, due to the dense forest, you can't see it. Instead, I recommend the southern Chateau de Saint Ulrich, which is a lovely hike from Ribeauville.

The view of the Rhine plain and the Hochkönigsburg is very nice. There is also a bench to sit on. There are shadows too.

A wonderfully situated castle with magnificent views in all directions. In front of the castle is a flat meadow with a picnic table.

The Ungersberg culminates at 901 meters above sea level. At the top, the Club Vosgien has erected the Héring tower which offers a panoramic view of the plain of Alsace and the surrounding peaks.
