Rocher Blanc
Or Weisser Fels. A 21 m high sandstone cliff, topped by a 9 m by 14 m plateau, offering a very nice view of the old town of La Petite-Pierre and its surrounding forests.
WARNING : from February to June, it is necessary to avoid approaching the rock to preserve the nesting of the peregrine falcon. Please respect the access restrictions if mentioned locally.
- Monuments and architecture
The House of the Pagans
Built in 1534 at the initiative of Palatine Count Louis V, its architecture, unique in Alsace, is as much civil as miliary. Built on a rocky promontory overlooking the forest, the site was occupied by a watchtower in the Gallo-Roman era, as evidenced by traces of foundations in the cellar. Considered a high vibratory place, it would mark the location of a Celtic place of worship.
