Departure from Turquestein-Blancrupt (Moselle)
I had wanted to hike in this mountain range for a long time, and now I've done it! There were signs prohibiting passage on a previous route, but I didn't really know where to find them, so I set off on an adventure and ended up finding an "authorised passage".
So, under a bright sun, I was able to access these iconic red sandstone rocks and enjoy the exceptional 360° view from the Grand Rougimont viewpoint over the Donon and the Lorraine plateau.
For those who appreciate the iconic natural curiosities of the Northern Vosges, don't hesitate to visit the Trois Pierres and Petit Rougimont: they are well worth the detour in a magnificent forest setting!

Departure from Grandfontaine (Bas-Rhin) (Bas-Rhin)
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.
