In the village there are several things to see. The upper part of the village leads to the 'Rosenberg Kiosk' from where one can admire great views on the northern part of the Plain of Alsace.

Vineyards and fields are all around the village. Also, this is the point of departure to the castle of Landsberg made of sandstone and granite and dating from the 12th century. The castle is accessible in 45 min walk.

When approaching the village of Andlau, one can already see the two towers of the Andlau castle, which was built in 1337 by Rodolphe of Andlau. An hour and fifteen minutes walk is necessary to reach the castle from the road D425.

Another fifteen minutes walk to reach the castle of Spesbourg, built by Alexander de Dicka in order to protect the Andlau Abbey in the 13th century. These ruins located at 400 m high are surrounded by forests.
