The 3 castles of Ribeauvillé

Unmissable walk: the 3 castles of Ribeauvillé
Perched majestically on the green hills overlooking the picturesque town of Ribeauvillé, the Trois Châteaux offer a real dive into the medieval history of Alsace. This iconic hike is a must-see experience for lovers of history and breathtaking scenery.
The walk begins in the heart of Ribeauvillé, where cobbled streets and half-timbered houses invite you to stroll. From the centre of the village, a well-marked path leads you up to the heights where the ruins of the three castles stand proudly: Saint-Ulrich, du Girsberg and de Haut-Ribeaupierre.
The first castle you will encounter is the Château de Saint-Ulrich. Dating from the 12th century, it offers panoramic views of Ribeauvillé and its surroundings. Climbing through the ruins, you will find yourself transported into the era of the knights and medieval lords.
Continuing your ascent, you will reach the Château du Girsberg, built in the thirteenth century. Nestled among the vineyards, it offers breathtaking views of the valley and surrounding hills. Take time to admire the natural beauty that surrounds you before continuing your way to the last castle.
Your journey will finally take you to the top of the hill, where stands the Château de Haut-Ribeaupierre. Built in the fourteenth century, this castle offers a breathtaking view of the entire valley of Ribeauvillé. Soak up the mystical atmosphere and let yourself be carried away by the history that pervades these old stones.
