Champ du Feu, at 1099 meters, is the highest mountain in the Bas-Rhin department of the Vosges in Alsace. It lies between the towns of Belmont and Le Hohwald and consists of an extensive high plateau with forests, meadows, and moorlands. The area is a popular nature and recreational area. In summer, it is mainly used for hiking, mountain biking, and nature observation. In winter, there is a small ski area with cross-country trails and simple slopes for winter sports. The brook La Serva originates from Champ du Feu, later forming the Cascade de la Serva. In clear weather, the summit offers wide views over the Vosges, the Rhine plain, and as far as the Black Forest. The area is particularly known for its tranquil nature, high moors, sunrises and starry skies, as well as well-marked hiking trails.

This section of the cycle path that crosses the Bruche Valley is one of the most beautiful. The landscape is completely unobstructed, allowing you to admire the first Vosges mountains. All this while cycling on a very high-quality surface.

The Saint-Nabor promontory, located in Alsace at the foot of Mont Sainte-Odile, offers a natural site rich in history and geology. It is known for its old porphyry quarries, a volcanic rock formed in the Carboniferous period, exploited long before their closure in 2002. The promontory rises to an altitude of approximately 340 meters in a semi-continental microclimate favoring vineyards and forests. It constitutes a belvedere offering a remarkable panorama of the Alsace plain, as far as Strasbourg and the Black Forest on a clear day. The site is accessible by well-marked hiking trails, notably the Saint-Nabor loop which passes by the Sainte-Lucie Fountain and the Pagan Wall. This peaceful place, away from the tourist hustle and bustle, is also a starting point for discovering the region, its heritage and its peaceful landscapes. It is steeped in history linked to the nearby Niedermunster monastery, now in ruins, and the presence of medieval remains.
