Tips from the Community

Nicolas Vergnaud
January 30, 2026, Église Saint-Félix-de-Cantalice

The Church of Saint-Félix-de-Cantalice was built in 1918 in Wingen-sur-Moder. It is distinguished by its onion-domed bell tower, the spire of which was damaged during the Second World War and subsequently repaired. It overlooks the surrounding plain beautifully.

Accessible from various directions and/or accessible as a circular walk. The walk up the mountain is quite long.

Beautiful climb in the Northern Vosges. Harder from Mouterhouse, slightly easier from Reipertswiller

the climb is a bit technical but doable. Beautiful viewpoint and benches to rest. On the way, very beautiful rocks 👍

Great view. Access via steps carved into the rock. Note: there is no railing at the top.

Wikipedia The Twelve Apostles Stone (French: Pierre des douze Apôtres; also Breitenstein, Latin: Petra lata) is a prehistoric menhir on the connecting road between Meisenthal, Mouterhouse (both in the Moselle department) and Wingen-sur-Moder (Bas-Rhin department) in the Northern Vosges Nature Park (Parc Naturel Régional des Vosges du Nord). Since the Middle Ages it has formed a border marker between Alsace and Lorraine. The monolith, carved from a single block of red sandstone, is about four meters high. Its history is unclear. It is believed that it is a cult stone from the Celtic ("druidic") period. In 1787 the upper part was designed as a crucifixion group (the crucified Christ with two Marys). A simple relief with the twelve apostles was carved out below.
