Giants' Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Rocher des Géants is an exposed rock slab with countless bowls that were filled with rainwater when we visited. Long ago, the bowls could have been used for various medicinal purposes, for preparing herbal extracts, intoxicating and healing potions.

Reptile Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

Excellent vantage point over the Vosges.
In the middle of the Rocher des Reptiles there are two large, individual rocks that, depending on the direction you look at them, look like a reptile, or at least the head of one.

Rocher de la Paix d'Udine

Highlight • Natural Monument

After climbing a beautiful path, you reach the height here, a place for a break with a view over the Rhine Valley to the Black Forest.
Information from the French Wikipedia: The rock is located slightly off the ridge path that runs along the pagan wall and has the shape of a natural altar measuring 4.70 meters and a height of 1.70 meters. This rock has the peculiarity that on its right flank, on the side of the hiking trail, it has an inscription engraved in the rock that commemorates a historical fact of the revolutionary period. This inscription thus formulated A LA PAIX D'UDINE MG. DK. L.S. JB. THIS. 22 Br.VI recalls that the treaty between France and Austria was signed in Udine in 1797, recording the conquests of the revolution. fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taennchel#Le_rocher_de_la_Paix_d'Udine
