What’s new?

We haven’t been idle in the past and have visited many exciting and interesting places. Little by little we will write down our experiences again in an adventure and publish them. But until then, we would like to give you the opportunity to browse our new Älgwiki articles in advance. Maybe we can help you find your new destination to explore.

Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg – An impressive castle with a sublime view of the surrounding area.

The Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg is a hilltop castle near Sélestat in Alsace. It was restored on behalf of Kaiser Wilhelm II at the beginning of the 20th century and converted into a museum. The castle that can be visited today and has become a major tourist destination in the region is a mixture of historically correct elements and a product of the architect’s imagination. You can go looking for a visit and guess what was original and what was added later.
