May 19, 2023,Südvogesen 🇫🇷: Gazon du Faing - Lac Vert und bimmelnde Kühe 🐮
Another final hike today in cold 🥶, windy 💨 weather through the beautiful heathland of the Southern Vosges. Over the Gazon du Faing 1302m). Fantastic views of the Lac Vert (Green Lake). Nice stop at an Auberge (there are two rest stops along the route). The paths are uneven and rocky, so please wear good shoes and be sure-footed. At …

The final climb was pretty cross country. Would I go differently now?

We already knew the Vosges ridge from hikes around Lac Blance or Le Honeck. Today it should finally be a tour in between. The focus was on Lac du Forlet as the northernmost point and Lac Vert as the southernmost. The starting point was at the parking lot at the Lieu-dit triangle directly on the Route de Cretes. Right at …

What a great tour! From the Dreieck parking lot, after a few meters over the main ridge in serpentines on a path downhill to Lac Vert, which is as green as its name suggests, which is probably due to various bacteria in the water. From there, forest paths and meadow paths led uphill to the friendly Refuge Erichson, where there …

Fantastic autumn walk. Great to see a different part of the Alsace...is it Alsace at all?
Hiked the Panoramaweg again on the great Gazon du Faing, currently highly recommended, not only because of the great view and the pristine heathland, but also because this year blueberries in abundance are waiting by the side of the path for all those who like to eat by hand live in the mouth.

I've wanted to do a tour in the Vosges for a long time and today was the day. After the first ascent through the forest, the path leads to the sentier panoramique past cow pastures and blooming heather. The view up here is really fantastic, especially from the Taubenklangfelsen. From there we walked a little further along the path before …

Wow - a very nice 🔝 tour that is easy to do even in the rain.
The path mainly runs on lots of stones and roots, good shoes are a must 💡
