This hut/shelter was perfect for us (2p) to spend the night. It has a little river next to it were you can wash your clothes (its not big enough to go bathing). Very open space. Around 8 in the morning, some people arrived. Until eleven, the place was full with some nice locals and a family of five. So if you stayll in the summer, dont stay too long it is a „popular“ spot. Accessible with which means anyone can go there fast.

The rangers are very friendly. Dogs must, of course, be kept on a leash during the breeding season.

Nice rest area with shelter. A collection of steles, menhirs or menhirs and even dolmens. A historical background to the menhirs is not known. The current arrangement probably goes back to the production or redesign by the Rosheim Vosges Association (Club Vosgien Rosheim) in the 1990s.
