The Parc Naturel Régional des Vosges du Nord

The Steinbach and Sauer Valleys in the Parc Naturel des Vosges du Nord, and the neighbouring Pfälzerwald (in Germany) are popular destinations with walkers looking for a short break in the country and a chance to recharge their batteries

The Parc des Vosges du Nord is a land of lakes and forests, of huge rock formations, picturesque villages and medieval ruins, that has to be seen to be appreciated...

In the spring, with the meadows and orchards in flower, the sun shining between showers and the first vegetables in the garden... 

In the summer, with long walks, a picnic by a stream, a siesta in the sun, and the wonderful jams...

In the autumn, with the forest a rich carpet of colours, the apple and pear harvests, convivial evenings enjoying a wine tasting or a pan of mushrooms...

And in the winter, with Christmas in the air, little cakes, foie gras, and the magic of folk art and village traditions...

Some highlights :

- The ruins of Petit Arnsberg, a fourteenth century fortified castle overlooking the village
- The Maison des Châteaux-forts (Castle Museum) in Obersteinbach
- The castles of Blumenstein, Wasigenstein, Froensbourg, Wittschloessel, Lutzelhardt...
