Tips from the Community
Viewpoint from one of the many bunkers along the Marginot Line. On a clear day, the view from here is fantastic, stretching all the way to the nearby Vosges Mountains. Even the Donon and Dabo peaks are easily visible to the naked eye. This shady spot with its bench is also perfect for a short break.
