Wildenstein
France, France
Wildenstein is a small mountain village in the Haut-Rhin department of the Grand Est region in northeastern France, located in the Vosges Mountains within the historic region of Alsace. With a population of around 155 residents, it is one of the smallest communes in the area. Known as the highest village in the Thur Valley, Wildenstein is surrounded by forests, steep mountain slopes, and protected natural landscapes. The source of the Thur River is located within the commune, and parts of the Ballons des Vosges Regional Natural Park and nearby nature reserves extend into its territory. The village originated around a glassmaking settlement established in 1699 and today is valued for its peaceful setting, hiking opportunities, and scenic mountain environment. Its traditional Alsatian character and proximity to the Route des Crêtes make it a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Despite its small size, Wildenstein offers visitors a glimpse of rural life in the Vosges while serving as a gateway to mountain trails, forests, and the natural beauty of southern Alsace.
