Signature experience — Strasbourg
Haut-Kœnigsbourg Castle
Duration
Half day

Dedicated vehicle & chauffeur
Perched at 757 metres on its pink sandstone spur, Haut-Kœnigsbourg has watched over the Alsace plain for eight centuries. Restored by Kaiser Wilhelm II in the early 1900s, the castle unfolds drawbridge, armoury and keep in striking condition. On a clear day the view stretches from the Vosges to the Black Forest — and to the Alps on some winter mornings.
The hairpin climb suits neither coaches nor uncertain parking: your chauffeur drops you at the entrance, you visit with no timetable, he waits. The descent can run through Saint-Hippolyte and its vines or past the Kintzheim eagle sanctuary, as the mood takes you.

Your chauffeur’s tip
Arrive at opening time (9.15am): you will have the inner courtyard to yourself, and the morning mist over the plain is worth the trip on its own.
