Col de la Schlucht

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col de la Schlucht is one of the most famous passes in the Vosges Mountains and lies at an altitude of 1,139 meters above sea level. In winter, it's a popular winter sports center with ski lifts. In summer, it's a great destination for day trips and a starting point for hikes. There's a summer toboggan run right next to the pass, as well as a restaurant/brasserie with a terrace. Parking is plentiful, though it can get tight in winter.

Rocky climb in the Frankenthal-Missheimle Nature Reserve

Highlight • Trail

Right at the beginning, it's wonderfully uphill over hill and dale. Now in autumn there is a lot of rustling leaves here. You have to be a bit careful walking as the foliage will cover the bumps and you could trip.

Now we have finally made it to Alsace to hike in the Vosges. The goal was Col de lagorge, but only a short loop to the Hirschsteine and Baerenbach. It was great! We took a lot of time to enjoy the terrain and the fantastic views and views.

At the Hirschstein there is a small, easy via ferrata over a length of 165m. It is secured with handrails, the highlight is the large staircase to the Hirschstein.

In the Vosges it can freeze and thaw. Remains of snow show that it was still possible to ski last week. For now we are walking, very adventurous with real scrambling. Beautiful views and moss-covered rocks in a fairytale forest.
