Met the mayor of the town today when I wanted to refill my bottles, he told me not to drink the water. This also applies to the other wells in town. I drank two bottles of it, everything was fine.

On the route of Col Amic, above the Ferme Auberge Kohlschlag, there is a cozy wooden bench that invites you to take a break. From here, you have a view of the Ferme Auberge Kohlschlag and the mountain Le Sudelkopf. The bench was made as a project by students from the Enstib Épinal wood trade school.

The Wells of Lautenbach The monks who founded Lautenbach settled in this area because of the abundant water resources. Over the centuries, population growth led to a multitude of wells, both public and private. Many wells, like the Stockbrunnen (a type of well), played an important role in the daily life of the village. The use of solid sandstone testifies to the wealth and prosperity of the village, which had developed into a small industrial town by the end of the 19th century. The wells remained in their original state until the construction of a water supply network. --- The Wells of Lautenbach The monks who founded Lautenbach settled in this area for its water resources. Over the centuries, population growth led to a multiplication of wells, both public and private. The names of the fountains, comme le Stockbrunna, participate in the vie quotidienne of the village. The large size used is signe of the richness and the prosperity of the village qui devient, à la fin du XIXe siècle, a small industrial town. Les fontaines conservent leur état d'origine jusqu'à la creation d'un réseau d'adduction en 1896.

Das Rathaus befindet sich im ehemaligen Klostergebäude der Stiftskirche Lautenbach. Die Tür des Ostflügels trägt die Jahreszahl 1517. In diesen Gebäuden befinden sich das ehemalige Propsthaus, die Sakristei der Domherren, der Kapitelsaal und eine Gewölbegalerie. Der Nordflügel wurde erst im 19. Jahrhundert errichtet. Im Winkel zwischen den beiden Flügeln stehen noch ein Turm mit seiner Wendeltreppe. Der Gotische Kreuzgang, der durch ein Spitzbogenportal zugänglich ist, weist Rippengewölbe auf. --- The town hall is housed in the former convent building of the Collegiate Church of Lautenbach. The door of the east wing bears the date 1517. These buildings house the former provost's house, the canons' sacristy, the chapter house, and a vaulted gallery. The north wing was built only in the 19th century. In the angle between the two wings, a turret and its spiral staircase still stand. The Gothic cloister, accessible through a pointed arch doorway, features ribbed vaults. To the left, the house, arranged as a central block, was acquired by the municipality in 1978 and then demolished in 1985, making way for a more suitable urban development.
