Lac de Longemer walks

This hike connects the two lakes via a forest path that is not always easy to find, stony and relatively slippery, especially on the final descent, but it is well worth the effort: the Lispach bog lake is magnificent!

In the Vosges forest, discover three lakes with very different environments, peat bogs and forest passages that can be quite technical at times.

“Les Perles de Vologne” is a wonderful site on the shaded bank of the Vologne. You will pass on Pont des Fées and the Marie-Louise islands, before climbing along the torrent in the Roitelets Gorge, to reach the Roche des Bruyères from where you can admire the town of Gerardmer and its lake. Then, at the Gilet Fountain, located in the forest, you can refresh your hands. Take a break at the Belbriette Pond before descending to Longemer Lake and the Saint Florent chapel.

Short hike connecting Lac de Longemer and Lac de Lispach through the forest.

Five lakes, two waterfalls, a peat bog and beautiful views to feast your eyes on.

The first stage of a two-day bivouac hike with an overnight stay at Lac de Blanchemer, passing by Lac du Lispach, which is reminiscent of a Canadian landscape, and the Machais peat bog. Difficulty and beautiful views sum up this first stage.
