This is the largest natural lake in the Vosges Mountains. The setting is simply splendid. You can enjoy a wide range of water activities here. Swimming is only permitted in supervised areas. A hiking trail has been developed to encircle the lake.

When you take the time to get off the road, the view is worth a photo. The road is quite busy, mind you.
