The Champ du Feu, at 1099 meters, is the highest mountain in the Bas-Rhin department in the Vosges in Alsace. It is located between the towns of Belmont and Le Hohwald and consists of a vast plateau with forests, meadows, and moorlands. The area is a popular nature and recreational area. In summer, it is mainly used for hiking, mountain biking, and nature observation. In winter, there is a small ski area with cross-country trails and simple slopes for winter sports. From the Champ du Feu, the La Serva stream originates, which later forms the Cascade de la Serva. In clear weather, the summit offers wide views over the Vosges, the Rhine plain, and even the Black Forest. The area is particularly known for its quiet nature, high moors, sunrises and starry skies, as well as well-marked hiking trails.

Magnificent pass to climb from different slopes (Breitenbach, Steige, Vallée de la Bruche, Andlau). It is also a crossing point towards the Champ du feu, the Hohwald, the Mont Ste Odile.
