Saut de la Bourrique is a waterfall in the Vosges mountains in the commune of Gérardmer.
The legend associated with the name of this waterfall actually comes from a bourrique that belonged to a lord. Returning from the crusades, he was attacked by bandits, and to protect him the animal threw itself on them at the foot of the waterfall, where it perished with the miscreants.
