You're standing at the Haut-Koenigsbourg, high on a rocky ridge in the Vosges mountains, about 755 metres above sea level. Turn around for a moment. Below you lies the Rhine valley, and in the distance you can spot the ruins of other castles, such as the Ortenbourg. Right below this castle there's another ruin too: the Oedenbourg, also known as Petit-Koenigsbourg.
