From the viewing platform you have a wonderful view of the area. There is also an orientation board there. The observation post was located here, as several road connections could be overlooked from here. From the old south-west gate you can walk to Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, for example.

From this rock you have a view to the north. The way there is more of a trail. It is best to keep left before the viewing rock to avoid climbing. Attention: Nothing is secured here.
