Alsace castles in 2 days

2 days · 6 châteaux · 136 km

The Vosges castle road, from Romanesque ruins to Haut-Kœnigsbourg.

Alsace has the highest density of medieval castles in France, almost all perched along the Vosges ridge and almost all in ruins: which here is no drawback: you climb to them on foot, and the view repays the climb. Two days cover the essentials without spending the trip in the car.
