However, this direction will be a little more "challenging" for those who are less physically fit.

The Wegscheid Forest(1), a regional nature reserve, features a landscape inherited from its volcanic past. Beech, fir, oak and maple trees grow in tiers or mingle among the scree on a steep, rugged slope dotted with volcanic rocks and overlooked by the Vogelstein Rocks. After winding paths to discover these curiosities, the hike leads into wide open spaces in the light of the Rossberg and Belacker hilltops with exceptional panoramic views.

Starting in Rimbach, a charming mountain village in the Masevaux Valley, this circular route takes us to one of the highest lakes in the Vosges, Lac des Perches. (alt. 984 m)A relatively strenuous hike with a fair bit of elevation gain, certainly, but the reward is well worth it; the view over the valley is magnificent and the lake is one of the most beautiful in the massif, and as it is only accessible on foot, it is also well preserved.About half of this lovely route takes you through the shade of the forest; the valley floors, lower slopes and certain ridges carpeted with grass are a delight for the cows from mid-May to September.We have classified this route as difficult; it will be so for occasional walkers and young children, but is of moderate difficulty for seasoned hikers.

Hike alternating between forests and alpine meadows with magnificent views and passing through wonderful sites such as Lac des Perches and Lac Neuweiher or the Haute-Bers stubble fields.Please note that there are some tricky sections for those who are prone to vertigo and fear of heights on the GR®5 section overlooking Lac des Perches.

This hike takes us to one of the highest lakes in the Vosges, Lac des Perches. Access via the Col de Rimbach makes it a fairly strenuous hike as the climb is steep.
