Here, it feels like everything is green—the trees, including tree trunks, rocks, and stones; the ground—where there are no leaves, there's moss. A very pleasant section of the trail leads from the Petite Cascade de Tendon up to the La Brostille viewpoint (from there, continuing to the Grand Cascade).

Petite Cascade de Tendon – Small Waterfall in the Countryside Tucked away in the sparse forest near Tendon lies the "Petite Cascade," the smaller of the two waterfalls in the area. An idyllic spot where the water cascades over rocks into a moss-covered streambed – tranquil, natural, and refreshing. 💧 Ideal for a short rest, a few atmospheric photos, or simply to pause for a moment. 💬 Tip: Worth seeing even when the water level is low – best visited after rain or in spring.

A beautiful, rustic stone path runs along a small forest stream up the valley. It's a perfect circular walk, taking in the Grande Cascade de Tendon and the Petit Cascade. Highly recommended, especially when the sun is shining beautifully through the trees.

The "Petite Cascade de Tendon" is also very impressive. The water cascades 10 meters into a thunderous drop in two stages.

A wonderful, short hike through the beautiful Vosges landscape, connecting the small and large Tendon waterfalls.

Beautiful path through the forest. The magical atmosphere is exaggerated by the presence of hundreds of small stone towers, built by hikers.

This hike of about 7 kilometers allows you to discover the two magnificent waterfalls of Tendon in the heart of the Vosges forest. It is preferable to come outside the dry seasons in order to make the most of the waterways.
