Deminers' Memorial

Highlight • Monument

This monument called the Projected Man pays tribute to all the deminers who died for France during the Second World War. More than 600 men sacrificed themselves to detect and disarm the mines laid by the Germans.

This sculpture, awarded at the Brussels Biennial, is the work of the architect Deschler and the sculptor Rivière.

Ballon d'Alsace Inn

Highlight • Restaurant

When you are at the top of the Ballon d'Alsace, the view is your first reward. The Auberge du Ballon d'Alsace is the second. With its traditional dishes, its panoramic terrace, and its friendliness you will be well. Ideal place for a gourmet break.

Simply brilliant view on the way to the Ballon d'Alsace with a view of the Black Forest and the Swiss Alps. Simply fantastically beautiful. Anyone who hasn't seen this has missed something.

Ballon d'Alsace

Highlight • Natural Monument

Here René Pottier conquered the first pass of the Tour de France on July 11, 1905. The Ballon d'Alsace then remained unrivaled for five years - until the much harder passes in the Pyrenees were discovered.

At 1,247 meters, the pass is by no means the highest in the Vosges and today no one would include it on the list of important passes - but there is still a certain magic about it.
