With 1,363 meters above sea level, the Hohneck is the third highest peak in the Vosges. It is also one of the most iconic, and perhaps the most beloved. Next to the Route des Crêtes, it is the ideal starting point for family hikes. The view it offers is simply splendid. It magnificently dominates the lake of Schiessrothried, the slope being very abrupt in this place. A real postcard landscape perfectly representing the Vosges mountains.

The handrail is a guarantee to stay on the right path which however is a "hidden" turn.

ATTENTION: Dogs are now banned on the Strohmeyerpfad, with a threat of a fine of up to €450. http://www.ballonsdesvosges-reservesnaturelles.fr/frankenthal-missheimle/ "A condition d'être systématiquement tenus en laisse, the presence of the chiens is tolérée drink on the sentier des roches où ils sont strictement interdit." Translation: "Provided that they are systematically kept on a leash, the presence of dogs is tolerated, except on the Sentier des Roches, where they are strictly prohibited." This is also controlled by rangers. I was "caught" with my miniature poodle on a Monday in August 2022. Since she was on a leash and behaved well, probably because the ban is fairly new, I got away with a warning. In the event of an accident (even experienced hikers can slip or get stuck), it can certainly be expensive, especially since rescue is only possible by helicopter.

The round begins with the Sentier des Roches, sure-footedness and a head for heights are prerequisites for the walk.

One of the most beautiful hiking trails that also have something adventurous to offer. Highly recommended, but not for hikers who are afraid of heights and do not have a head for heights!

Perfect starting point for a long or a short hike. We started here a hike of 80 km and ended back up the Hohneck. At Hohneck you are able to park your car, have a drink at the restaurant of just take a stop to enjoy the view.
