Alsace is located on the eastern border of France surrounded on the French side by Lorraine and Franche Comte. Its isolation on the eastern border makes it a rather forgotten region of France but has plenty of history to entice the visitor. Alsace boasts Europe's highest concentration of feudal castles, bearing witness to its turbulent history. Without a doubt the most famous of these is the Haut Koenigsbourg castle which is one of France's most frequently visited monuments. Alsace has more than 400 ruined castles, including the recently restored Hohlandsbourg castle.
