Reisberg, Mountain summit in the Northern Vosges, Bas-Rhin, France

Reisberg is a mountain summit in the Northern Vosges range that rises to 481 meters and shapes the landscape around Niederbronn-les-Bains. Its location offers views across the surrounding hills and lowlands from the hilltop.

The Reisberg lies in the Northern Vosges on the territory of Niederbronn-les-Bains, in the Bas-Rhin department. Its summit carries the Wasenburg castle, a medieval fortification whose ruins stand among the trees. The hill and its castle passed between French and German control as Alsace changed hands, notably after 1871 and again after 1918.

Local hikers regularly gather here to explore traditional walking routes and experience the border region together. The mountain serves as a meeting place where communities from nearby villages connect through their shared interest in outdoor activities.

You can reach this summit via multiple marked hiking trails starting from Niederbronn-les-Bains, with different difficulty levels available. Parking is located at the base, making it straightforward for visitors to begin their walk.

On clear days, you can see both French and German lowlands simultaneously from the top, making it a natural viewing point between the two countries. This dual-perspective view often strikes visitors as a memorable aspect of the visit.
