The ChĂąteau du Herrenfluh is a medieval ruin at an altitude of 858 metres. It was built in 1312 by Johan von Sankt Amarin, nicknamed Nordwind, and served as a lookout post for the princes-abbatons of Murbach. Due to its strategic location, the castle offered a panoramic view over Alsace, all the way to the foothills of the Jura. In 1376, it was captured by English mercenaries and later, in 1468, destroyed by the Swiss. During the First World War, the site was again used as a French observation post. Today, some ruins are still visible, and volunteers are working to preserve the remains. It is an interesting historical site along the Route des CrĂȘtes.

Close to the Grand Ballon, the Molkenrain refuge is ideally located facing the Alps. The refuge is open continuously from June 15 to September 15 and remains accessible every weekend and public holiday outside the high season. You will also find a bar and a restaurant a few meters away, at the farm inn of the same name.

Wonderful alpine feeling up here, especially when you have to walk through the herd of cows. Rewarding view of the surrounding area.
