We just walked through the water. Were almost back at our starting point, fresh wet feet on the last bit.😁

This concentration of stones, or "rocky chaos," forms a rectangle 400 meters long by 40 meters wide in the middle of a fir forest. Several legends exist regarding its origin…

An incredibly beautiful section of the route, but certainly challenging. Sturdy footwear, a good level of fitness, and surefootedness are required.

The Roche des Bruyeres lies high above the Vologne Valley and offers a magnificent view of the town of Gérardmer and the lake beyond. From a bench, you can enjoy the view while taking a break, and a picnic table is available for larger groups. I was completely alone here, though; apparently, very few hikers venture up the path along the Vologne River.

The weir with its small power plant is still a beautiful photo opportunity, but it's no longer usable as a bridge because both sides are closed. However, the path to Marie-Louise Island, the next crossing point for the Vologne, isn't far, and there are paths on both sides.

A very beautiful gorge, but unfortunately, the path down through the gorge was impassable at the time of my visit—it ended right before the bridge. Whether the path was permanently damaged or the water was just too high at the time was unclear. In any case, there are detours, so it wasn't a problem.

The bridge is actually closed on both sides by a gate. You can go through the back of the house to enter the power plant and once on the footbridge over the stream, it is quite easy to get over the barrier.
