Tips from the Community

Kelly Fischer
April 13, 2026, Verstecktes Vogesenhaus unterhalb der Festung La Petite-Pierre

On the slope below La Petite-Pierre stands this extraordinary, castle-like house – almost like something out of a fairy tale. Even though it’s not a real castle, it’s located in an area with an impressive history: for centuries, La Petite-Pierre was a strategically important fortress between Alsace and Lorraine.  High above the valley sits the Château de La Petite-Pierre, whose origins date back to the 12th century and was later expanded into a fortress by Vauban.  The slopes around the village were once characterized by craftsmen, forest workers, and small businesses – many buildings were later rebuilt or newly constructed in the “castle-like” style. Today, this spot is a real insider tip: perfect view, quiet location, and an almost magical atmosphere between forest, rocks, and history.

A very large selection of cakes. A true French patisserie. The staff speaks excellent German. Sandwiches are also available for purchase. Seating is available inside and outside for dining! Highly recommended!

Lützelstein Castle was built at the end of the 12th century by Count Hugo, a son of Count Hugo of Blieskastel. It later belonged to the Electorate of the Palatinate. You can walk through the moat and there is a small shop in the tourist information office with products from the region.
