La Fontaine de la Duchesse walks
From Breitzouse to Lac de la Lande
Walk along the Vosges ridges down to Lac de la Lande. This walk follows the Hautes Vosges stubble trails among Vosges cows, passing not far from the farmhouse inns of Breitzousen, Fershmuss and Schmargult. Further down, through the shady beech and spruce woods, you reach Lac de la Lande, an ideal spot for a picnic. The very reasonable elevation gain of 250 m over 9.5 km means that this hike is not particularly difficult.

Hohneck/Altenweiller Lake/Rothenbachkof
A beautiful descent!
But then a beautiful climb back up!!!
Magnificent scenery and lots of flowers to admire in early July... and enjoy tasting local produce at the Steinwasen farm inn...
Around Kastelberg
Circular route along the Vosges ridges around one of its highest peaks, the Kastelberg (1350m).
Passage on the Alsace side at Lake Altenweiher (925m) and on the Vosges side at Lakes Blanchemer (985m) and Lande (1034m).
A loop around Kastelberg via Wormsawald
This varied and challenging loop, winding its way through the stubble fields and forests of the Vosges, offers beautiful views of the lakes and Alsace on one side and Lorraine on the other. You may even be lucky enough to spot some chamois. Some difficult sections are reminiscent of the Sentier des Roches.
