Tips from the Community
A secluded pond in the forest, located on the beautiful forest road from Eschbourg to Frohmuhl. There's only one educational facility here, but otherwise no infrastructure, just plenty of idyllic forest scenery.

Interesting rock dwellings, e.g. T. were converted into a small museum, which also provides information about the complex history of the area, e.g. B. the match production and the archaeological excavation site of the monastery.

There is not much to see except a restored foundation. Four goats were already waiting across the street.

The Maison des Rochers can be visited for €3 per entry. It actually forms a set of three so-called semi-troglodyte dwellings. They remained inhabited until 1958 but today are only house museums restored and fitted out with period furniture. The settings found in these buildings echo the legends of the region.

As early as the beginning of the 8th century, documents mention a basilica on the mountain that was dedicated to Saint Martin. It was a nobleman named Grodowin who donated this church and its outbuildings to Wissembourg Abbey in 716. A restoration, perhaps even a conversion, of the nave took place in 1606. In 1895 the tower was struck by lightning, in 1903 the church was repaired and the choir was converted into a cemetery chapel; a styleless portal replaced the old nave.

Exciting insights into life in a rock house. The entrance fee of €3 is worth it.
