It’s a lovely walk that allows you to see the three castles of Ribeauvillé from a slightly different angle to the traditional route.
The GPS track takes the shortest route. To see the three castles, follow the route description.
Avoid at all costs during the Christmas market or on Pfifferday. Ribeauvillé has recently become extremely touristy.

Departure from Ribeauvillé (Haut-Rhin) (Haut-Rhin)
A fairly demanding hike, as there is a long climb right from the start, but one that offers numerous incredible views.You start by climbing up to the three castles via paths through the vineyards, then ascend the Taennechel via its fairly steep south-eastern peak, known as the Rocher de la Paix d’Udine, which also offers a rather striking view over the Alsace plain.
Next, we explore the numerous sandstone outcrops dotting the ridge before descending back to Ribeauvillé.

Stage thirteen, from Ribeauvillé to Le Bonhomme, is very long and involves a significant elevation gain. It marks the hiker’s entry into the Hautes-Vosges and its first major peaks: Hirzberg and Brézouard, via the Lapoutroie valley. With a mountain atmosphere and superb views in store.
