Château de Hohenack, Medieval castle ruins in Labaroche, France.
The remains of Hohnack Castle stand at an elevation of 940 meters, featuring an enclosure wall made of boss stones and a gate tower with medieval stonemason marks.
Built around 1162 by the Hohnack family, vassals of the Counts of Eguisheim-Dabo, the castle was dismantled in 1655 under orders from the French governor of Colmar.
The mountain range surrounding the castle contains local legends about a rocky labyrinth believed to be the final resting place of a Vosges giant.
Reaching the castle requires traveling from Colmar to Ingersheim, then to Trois-Epis, followed by a 20-minute walk along a path marked with yellow crosses.
The castle stones feature small natural cavities called cupules, which according to local folklore were created by fairies to collect rainwater.
