Lovely hike from the cemetery parking lot of Grendelbruch. Little to no elevation. Easy walk for families or the elderly. Count +/- 45mins each way. The fortress is massive, with parts under reconstruction so they are locked up. Great view of the vallée de la Bruche. Free entrance, all year, so please respect the site and take your garbage with you. Merci. Thank you!

Guirbaden Castle is the ruins of a large fortress built in the 11th century. There is a good hike up to the castle (the paths are not too difficult, they are also suitable for children), and there are also interesting MTB trails leading up to it. The site is privately owned but is freely accessible. The only building on the site that has been slightly repaired (but is also accessible) is the former chapel. Guirbaden is an excellent place for a picnic. You will find several tables with benches where you can sit and have something to eat. We did not find a source of drinking water in the area. Guirbaden Castle is definitely worth a visit.

The castle is large but quite ruined. It's a long, uphill walk, so be die to leave enough time. I don't really think it's worth the time.
