Beautiful nature around the dam. I recommend a walk (or bike tour) around the lake and stop in the restaurant nearby.

View from Le Treh

Highlight • Viewpoint

La Treh is a charming country farmhouse located in the Vosges. This rustic farm serves as an inn, but you can also stop to eat and drink. The views from the hostel are very scenic and worth the trip.

Magnificent viewpoint on the Route des Crêtes, located at the crossroads of the east-west and north-south roads, near the Grand Ballon.

A renowned farm inn is located nearby, ideal for a lunch break between two cycling trips.

Start in Thann in drizzle,
over Lac de Wildenstein Markstein to the Grand Ballon in powerful gusts and 8 degrees 😬. Descent over Col Amic and Goldbach 🥶.
Knee Tep holds and the incentive was the Tarte de myrtilles👍

Actually a nice tour. If it weren't for the perceived 3875 motorcycles. Unfortunately, very few overtake considerately with enough distance 🤨
