    Château fort de Petit-Arnsbourg - SYCOPARC
    Castle-church-abbey

    Petit-Arnsbourg fortified Chateau

    Mentioned for the first time in 1316, it belonged to the abbey of Wissembourg and to the family of Wasigenstein. Passing from hand to hand, its last owners were the Hanau-Lichtenberg family between 1604 and 1606. It was destroyed during the Thirty Years War in 1635. Isolated at the top of a hill, it was equipped with a wooden structure allowing to gain on the void and to widen the dwellings. One of the doors, carved in the rock, with a double frame, bears the date of 1494. More information here and there.

Sensitive areas

Along your trek, you will go through sensitive areas related to the presence of a specific species or environment. In these areas, an appropriate behaviour allows to contribute to their preservation. For detailed information, specific forms are accessible for each area.

A quiet zone is not a legally mandated area; rather, it refers to areas considered conducive to the activities of sensitive species that have a critical need for quiet (feeding, migration, reproduction, giving birth, raising young, hibernation, and seeking mates).


Adopt the 5 “Quiétude Attitude” best practices and help preserve the peace and quiet of wildlife!

No. 1 I familiarize myself with quiet zones and the regulations
No. 2 I stay on marked trails
No. 3 I respect the silence of nature
No. 4 I keep my pet on a leash
No. 5 I prioritize daytime activities

The “Quiétude Attitude” program raises public awareness about the best practices to follow in natural environments to preserve the tranquility of animal species.
