Château du Landsberg walks

Loop hike starting from Barr. Follow the Kirneck river, then the former Barr railway line to Birkenfels Castle. Beautiful view from the Jadelot kiosk. On the way back, you will discover Landsberg Castle.

The Camel Trail is part of a lovely circular walk that starts at the Auberge du Moenkalb. Set off to discover boundary stones dating from 1778, which were used to mark out forest plots.The initials ABGW stand for Amts Barr Gemeine Waldungen.Take a look at the trees in this diverse forest (fir, hornbeam, elm, chestnut, maple, etc.).Allow 20 to 30 minutes to visit Landsberg Castle.

A beautiful 14 km round trip hike via Landsberg Castle to Mont Sainte-Odile. Superb views of the Barr region, the Alsace plain and, in good weather, the Black Forest in Germany.

A beautiful, undulating hike through the woods in the form of a double circular route that explores the southern part of Mont Sainte Odile and part of its defensive system.

A lovely route through the foothills of the Vosges, passing through small Alsatian villages (Barr, Heiligenstein, Saint-Nabor) and returning via abbeys and castles in the forest.

A beautiful circular route passing three iconic castles in the Andlau region: the elegant Landsberg Castle, Spesbourg Castle with its 24-metre-high keep, and Andlau Castle with its two towers. The latter two offer superb views over Andlau and the Rhine plain. This shaded route also features some beautiful rock formations: the Rocher Herrade, the Rocher du Jugement, the Rocher du Hungerplatz and the Rocher Sainte-Richarde. You can also visit the summit of the Crax and its blueberries.

A circular route starting from Barr station, accessible by train from Strasbourg or Sélestat, or even further afield with connections. A route that begins in town, climbs through the vineyards, then into the mountains where two magnificent castles await you!

I suggest an online hike. The starting point is Barr station, which is easily accessible by train from Strasbourg. The finish is at Obernai station, from where you can easily catch a train back to Strasbourg; there are services every hour on weekdays. The route will take you through the villages of Barr, Saint-Nabor, Bernardswiller and the town of Obernai, first through the vineyards and then into the forest on the slopes of Mont Sainte-Odile. You’ll be able to admire the ruins of the imposing Château du Landsberg (12th century). You can visit Hohenbourg Abbey, founded in 680 by Saint Odile, patron saint of Alsace, and admire the ruins of Niedermünster Abbey below. Enjoy exploring!
