Tips from the Community
I liked this pleasant lake, its welcoming terrace. We wanted to return, from the woods, but had to turn back (Spring 2026). Access is now blocked by palisades with warning signs and monitored by cameras. The marked trails of the Club Vosgien have been rerouted. As a result, the desire to go to the bar was forgotten!

It was indeed a pretty little lake. We wanted to return there but had to turn back (Spring 2026). Access to it is now blocked by fences with warning signs and monitored by cameras. The marked trails (Club Vosgien) have been rerouted.

At the end of the 12th century, the Counts of Ferrette built the "Château Haut". This construction, at an altitude of 736m, makes it possible to monitor the entire plain and strengthen their defense system. Archaeological excavations of the building have made it possible to date its destruction to 1375. Panels explain the details of the castle.
