An impressive rock named "Old Castle Rock", in homage to the remains of a fortress that once stood here.

Accessible from a small village in the Bitche area called Roppeviller, Altschlossfelsen means "rock of the old castle", probably in homage to the remains of a fortress that once stood on this promontory. After a good hour's walk through an old Roman road and an impressive forest with a Canadian feel, you will realize that you have given yourself a fabulous change of scenery.

Whoever has already visited the famous canyons of Arizona, or discovered them in a report, will not be able to help seeing a similarity there. It is not for nothing that the Altschlossfelsen is called the "little Colorado" of Bitch Country! One feels humble, very small in the middle of these giant rocks of several meters high! This impressive rock, with its different shades of red, is more than one kilometer long and 15 to 20 meters high. The place calls for letting go and being amazed. It is an easy hike, accessible to the whole family, starting from Roppeviller and following the marked path from the church parking. The loop is 6 km long, and it will take you at least 2 hours, and certainly more if you count the number of photos.

Be careful, from March to June, some rocks are protected because they shelter nests of protected birds such as the great raven or the peregrine falcon. It is therefore necessary to respect the signs restricting access.
