This walk leads to the Chatte Pendue viewpoint and the summit of the Hautes Loges, which offer a breathtaking 360° view of the neighbouring peaks: Donon, Rocher de Mutzig, the Champ du Feu massif and the Col du Hantz.The only challenging part is the climb up to La Chatte Pendue. So, take it easy to start with.

A fairly challenging walk on the hills above Moyenmoutier to explore the ruins of the Château de la Haute Pierre and its 360° panorama. Then technical sections through the Roches de la Balance and de Lanceux before reaching the Croix de Malfosse crossroads for a gentle descent back to the abbey grounds.

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.

A pleasant walk, alternating between woodland and open countryside, including a section across the Hautes-Chaumes.

A beautiful hike in the heart of nature to the Hautes Chaumes from Moussey. The length and elevation gain are perfect for an average hiker.
