Tips from the Community
The Rehbrunnel Shelter, altitude 759m The first Rehbrunnel Shelter was built in 1988 by the City of Thann with the assistance of the ONF (French Forestry Office). Mr. Jacques Fimbel, a volunteer with the Thann Vosges Club, designed the plans. The shelter was known among hikers for its octagonal shape and prime location. First renovated in 1999, the shelter was damaged by the elements and had suffered wear and tear over time. Therefore, the City of Thann launched a new construction project, in collaboration with the Gustave Eiffel Building School in Cernay, the Thann Vosges Club, and the ONF (French Forestry Office). The shelter was dismantled in June 2024, and after a year of work, the new Rehbrunnel Shelter was inaugurated on May 27, 2025.

A brand-new wooden shelter. Inside, there's a stove and three seating areas. There's barely enough room for a bivouac on the floor, as the tables are attached to the ground and there's little space between the benches. However, you could still spread out a bit. I also managed to set up my single-person inner tent right next to the door. There's a well with drinking water 150 meters below the hut! It's a perfect spot for a night, and the view from this rocky, spiritual spot down into the valley toward Thann is outstanding!
