Old Franco-German Border Stones

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

During the First World War, the Vosges were the scene of bitter fighting. On the east side of the Vosges there are large military cemeteries (e.g. Hartmannswillerkopf). Even today, the trenches are still clearly visible in many places, where the enemies often faced each other only a few meters apart. On the west side of the Vosges ridge, the Route des Crêtes (ridge road) runs just below the peaks, a military road built by the French army as a supply route to secure the newly conquered terrain against the Germans advancing from the east. Unlike most other roads, it doesn't connect places with each other. Today this road is a popular tourist route, especially for motorbikes.

Taubenklangfelsen Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Taubenklangfelsen offers a great view of the Lac du Forlet, the Rhine plain, the Vosges and, beyond the Rhine, the Black Forest. It's worth taking a snack break up here, firstly for your stomach and secondly for your senses

Lac du Forlet

Highlight • Lake

Very beautiful lake with rest benches, surrounded by steep mountains. When we passed, families were having a picnic with their fishing rod cast out in various places. But the Ferme Auberge is also recommended - even if there are no truite (trout) here.

Green Lake

Highlight • Lake

Lac Vert is located on the Tanet massif at an altitude of 1,053 meters. Its surface area is 7.2 hectares. It owes its name to the reflection of the fir trees which surround it and to an algae which proliferates from the end of June to the end of July.

Sometimes, on Sunday mornings, you can hear the sound of alphorns adding to the magic of the place. The lake is easy to access, you can park your car nearby (access via the road from Munster to the Col de la Schlucht and forest road from kilometer 12).

Suggested route: Lac Vert and Lac du Forlet via the ridges (two hours).
