Viewpoints in Strasbourg

The area around Strasbourg offers striking viewpoints well beyond the city itself. Hilltops such as the Bastberg and Brandenkopf open up broad panoramas across forests and valleys, while the rocky Battert formation and the peaceful Buhlbachsee provide quieter vantage points. Ruined castles built for their commanding positions — among them Burg Ochsenstein, Burgruine Altwindstein, and the châteaux of Dreistein, Guirbaden, Herrenstein, Hohenfels, and Hohenstein — still reward visitors with far-reaching views. Alt Eberstein, perched on its wooded hill, rounds out a varied selection of elevated spots worth seeking out.
