    If you're planning on going up there make sure you're prepared ... for some repairs. Some sections of the road are appalling! Cobblestones in the bends! Ended up with a staggering £1500 repairs...  more »

  • By Soniya Birla
    The highest point in Vosges. Good to go for a half day trip. I would say easy hiking but worth to go. One can have spectacular view of nearby towns.
  • By Mark Savage
    Great walking and mountain biking area, short or long routes. Stupendous views and great places to eat all around.
  • By Adrian Roos
    The highest point of the Vosges. A small hike to the top of 15 minutes brings you an overview of the Vosges. A pitty we had some clouds that blocked our view. Anyway a must stop
