Don't miss a visit to the Verriers Church in the hamlet, which houses the crystal rose (Route des 7 Roses, remarkable chapels and churches around Saint Quirin): Renaissance façade, bulbous bell tower topped with a golden cockerel and covered, like the roof, with larch and spruce shingles.

The Potos Route in Saint-Quirin
The idea was to go for a walk with friends after two missed meet-ups due to the rain! So I decided to create a route for the occasion, starting from the place where I grew up.
Circular route of the Grand and Petit Rougimont rocks and Trois Pierres
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!
Le Canceley, Le Grand Rommelstein and Le Rocher du Calice
A beautiful hike through the forest with some slightly wild passages and beautiful views of Rocher du Canceley and Grand Rommelstein.
The two rocks: Rocher du Diable and Rocher du Calice
This moderate-difficulty hike takes you through the forest to discover Abreschwiller and its hamlet of Le Grand Soldat.After the climb to the Roche du Diable, the route descends towards the hamlet of Le Grand Soldat, where you can see the house of Alexandre Chatrian (1826–1890), a writer born in this hamlet, before climbing up to the Rocher du Calice.
Long tour via Calice, Brechpunkt and Bloecherplatz to Grand Soldat
A little-used circular path in the forest, taking in the rocks, rocky outcrops and viewpoints surrounding the hamlet of Grand Soldat.
St-Léon - Abreschviller
A walk in the Vosges foothills, under the trees and with a beautiful view of Abreschviller.
I wanted to revisit a walk I used to do regularly with my parents when I was a teenager. Unfortunately, the storm of 1999 took its toll and the path has been completely washed away in places. The Club Vosgien has redefined a new route from Saint-Léon. I preferred to go back 45 years and offer you my retro walk along the original path.
Walscheid – Hohwalsch – Rocher du Calice – Rocher du Diable circular loop
Take the trail running/hiking path from Walscheid for an unforgettable adventure through the majestic rocks and surrounding pine-covered valleys. This route follows easy, accessible paths. It will allow you to discover the region’s natural beauty whilst enjoying superb panoramic views. Pass through the spectacular rock formations and be enchanted by the tranquillity of the Vosges forest. A rewarding experience for nature lovers and keen hikers!
Discover unusual sites starting from Walscheid
Walscheid, a picturesque village at the gateway to the Vosges, is well worth a visit. There are many hiking trails, including this one, which takes in a wealth of attractions such as the Gallo-Roman cemetery, the ruins of Heidenschloss, the Durrenberg promontory and the Saint Léon cave.

From the Col de Roule Bacon to Grand Rougimont
A beautiful hike through the Vosges forests, on the border of three departments (Bas-Rhin, Moselle and Meurthe-et-Moselle). Pass along the Roman road and the former border from 1871 to 1918, then on to Grand Rougimont (622m), the highest point in Meurthe-et-Moselle. Descend to the ruins of Moises and return along the Saussenrupt stream via the Trou Marmot.
Circular loop along the canal and the supply channel in Hesse

A beautiful hike that will allow you to discover sites, rocks and landscapes between the slopes of the Zorn Valley.
