Proudly overlooking the Alsace plain from the top of its 757 meters of altitude, the Ch\u00e2teau du Haut-K\u0153nigsbourg<\/strong> is a jewel of medieval architecture and one of the most visited monuments in France. However, its exceptional geographical location also makes it one of the most difficult sites to access for non-motorized visitors. Avoid crowded coach tours and endless train connections. With VTC Strasbourg DMD,<\/strong> book your private driver for a direct and comfortable shuttle. We drop you off at the foot of the drawbridge and wait for you on your journey back in time. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Avoid the nightmare of parking lots and mountain roads<\/h2>\n

Reaching the Haut-K\u0153nigsbourg on your own requires a certain amount of courage, especially during the high tourist season (in summer or during the Christmas markets). If you are coming from Strasbourg by train, you will have to stop in S\u00e9lestat and then wait for a shuttle bus whose schedules are often rigid. If you choose to rent a car, you will have to face the winding mountain roads that wind through the Vosges mountains. <\/p>\n

But the real test begins at the finish: parking. As the castle only has a linear car park along the forest road, it is very common to have to park several kilometres below and finish the ascent on foot, on the side of the road, before even starting the visit. By opting for our VTC shuttle service, your private driver spares you all this fatigue. Thanks to his professional status, he will drop you off at the drop-off point closest to the main entrance as possible. You get out of your Premium Sedan or Van and start your visit immediately with maximum energy. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The flexibility of “Provisioning”: We are waiting for you!<\/h2>\n

The complete tour of the Upper Koenigsburg Castle, with its inner courtyards, spiral staircases, weapons room and bastions with a breathtaking view of the Black Forest, lasts on average between 1h30 and 2h00. A logistical question then arises: how to leave once the visit is over, knowing that conventional taxis often refuse to get “empty” from the valley to pick you up? <\/p>\n

The ideal solution is our “Provisioning” package. While you walk the corridors of the castle and listen to historical anecdotes, your private driver VTC Strasbourg DMD does not leave. He parks the vehicle and remains at your disposal on site. As soon as you walk through the exit door, you don’t have to scan the schedule of the next shuttle in the rain or the blazing sun. Your air-conditioned vehicle and driver are waiting for you to begin the journey back to your hotel in Strasbourg, or to continue your sightseeing tour to the next stop. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Combine the Ch\u00e2teau and the Wine Route (7-seater van)<\/h2>\n

The Ch\u00e2teau du Haut-K\u0153nigsbourg benefits from an exceptional strategic location: it directly overlooks the famous Alsace Wine Route. It would be a shame to make the trip from Strasbourg only for the monument without enjoying the wonders at its feet. This is why we very often recommend to our guests to combine the historical tour in the morning with the discovery of the wine villages in the afternoon (such as Bergheim, Ribeauvill\u00e9, Riquewihr or Kaysersberg). <\/p>\n

For this type of day trip, especially if you are travelling with family, a small group of friends or colleagues, our Mercedes V-Class Van (7 seats)<\/strong> is the perfect vehicle. Its spacious interior offers a fantastic panorama on the way up to the castle. Plus, it allows you to gather your entire group in one shuttle rather than splitting you into multiple taxis. And if you take advantage of your stop in the villages of the valley to buy some local wines, the large trunk of the Van will accommodate your boxes of wine without encroaching on your legroom for the return trip to Strasbourg. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

FAQ: Shuttle and Driver to Haut-K\u0153nigsbourg<\/h2>\n \n

How long is the journey from Strasbourg to the Castle?<\/h3>\n

From Strasbourg city centre or the TGV station, the journey via the A35 motorway and then the mountain road takes about 50 to 60 minutes depending on traffic conditions. It is by far the fastest and most direct means of transport to reach the monument. <\/p>\n\n

Does the driver accompany you during the visit to the monument?<\/h3>\n

No, your private driver takes care exclusively of the transport logistics and your comfort on board. While you are on the tour of the castle (with a guide or audio guide), it remains in the vehicle or in the immediate vicinity in the car park to keep an eye on your belongings and guarantee an immediate departure as soon as you return. <\/p>\n\n

Can we leave our bags and jackets in the VTC during the tour?<\/h3>\n

Absolutely! This is one of the great advantages of our provisioning service. Visiting the castle involves climbing many stairs. You can safely leave your heavy coats, backpacks, umbrellas, or suitcases in the locked vehicle monitored by your driver. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
