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.

Arriving at the viewpoint overlooking Vilsberg, you will be rewarded with a panoramic view of the picturesque village and surrounding countryside. This charming village, nestled among rolling hills and lush forests, offers a glimpse of the idyllic countryside. From the viewpoint, you can admire the rooftops of the houses and the spire of the village church rising majestically above the trees.

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.

Three small but very impressive rock houses, which were inhabited until 1958.

Very nice to look at, but you can save yourself the entrance fee. Just walk around a bit and you can admire everything.
