The Haute Loge Smugglers' Trail in Moussey
From Moussey (Vosges), a circular hike that passes through the Rouges Terres to climb the Hautes Chaumes and then the Haute Loge: 360° view. Return to the starting point via the Sentier des Passeurs. This section of the historic trail is the Vosges part, with the French part starting at the Maison Forestière de Salm in Alsace. From 1940 onwards, this trail was used by smugglers to guide escapees, those refusing to participate in the STO (compulsory labour service) and all kinds of people who wanted to flee Nazi barbarism to free France. Most of the elevation gain is concentrated in the first part of the hike, up to Haute Loge.

Between the Col du Donon, Col du Prayé and Col du Hantz to Saint-Blaise-la-Roche
A long hike that will take you from the Col du Donon to Saint-Blaise-la-Roche in the Schirmeck valley, via the Col du Prayé and the Col du Hantz. You’ll follow the old 1871 border between France and Germany along the ridges, which is still marked by several boundary stones. In August, the high moors are dotted with flowering heather, creating a beautiful pink hue that contrasts with the green of the fir trees, the blue of the sky and the white clouds.
