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.

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

This is the largest natural lake in the Vosges Mountains. The setting is simply splendid. You can enjoy a wide range of water activities here. Swimming is only permitted in supervised areas. A hiking trail has been developed to encircle the lake.

As a memorial to the many dead, such a "MONUMENT AUX MORTS" (usually called a "Central Memorial" or "War Memorial" in German-speaking countries) is still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." it says in the so-called "Hymn of Praise of Simeon" (Luke's Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny. Therefore, the term "fallen memorial" is now sometimes used instead of the "war memorial" that was previously common in German. In the French-speaking world, however, this aspect of commemoration of the dead has long been included in the most commonly used term "MONUMENT AUX MORTS". Regardless of language and nation, such a memorial has two important and at the same time everlasting tasks: -1- To keep alive the memory of the suffering and horror of war, -2- and to remind people of the need to maintain peace in the long term.
