Castle Cave widely Lembach located in the Lower Rhine, Castle Fleckenstein is the second most visited of Alsace behind the Haut-Koenigsbourg. Classified as an historic monument, it was built in the 12th century and entrusted to the barons of Fleckenstein until the family's extinction in the early 18th century. It is today the property of the commune of Lembach and is managed by an autonomous inter-municipal authority.

Destroyed in the late seventeenth century, the castle of Fleckenstein was once part of a defense line that guarded the road link between the imperial cities of Haguenau and Kaiserslautern (D). Today in ruins, it is an emblematic example of the fortresses of the Northern Vosges built on a rocky ledge with a length of ninety meters to a height of thirty meters. With its form of ship, it presents inside the walls, the low court, a square tower, stairs and rooms dug in the rock. The oldest parts are Romanesque. Reconstructions of the monument stimulate the visitor's imagination by superimposing the past to the present and highlight the know-how of the builders of yesteryear.

For families, an offbeat tour of the monument "the Castle of Challenges" are during three hours of medieval adventure in the wake of the ghost-knight Hugo. Trained in the same quest, they take 20 challenges in the forest and in the fortress, and mobilize all their senses to rebuild the castle. A history lesson as fun as enriching that brings together all generations in a great moment of relaxation and conviviality.

proximity to amenities can admire a hut rebuilding coal with summer entertainment, a play area for younger children, and hiking tours to admire the surrounding castles.
