Ferme Mellon

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The pretty Ferme Mellon and the Villa Le Riesack are situated on a ridge between the valleys of the Falkensteinerbach and the Schwarzbach. The D653, which leads over this small pass, connects Niederbronn-les-Bains with Jaegerthal. The Ferme Mellon is a former homestead or a farm. In the time-honored walls you can spend the night and dine. The manorial Villa Le Riesack is also a guest house today, which is certainly a beautiful setting for a wedding.
No less interesting and worth visiting are the two starting points of the driveways, Niederbronn and Jaegerthal. As the name implies, Niederbronn-les-Bains is a spa that has two mineral springs, the healing power of which was already known by the Romans in 48 BC. Discovered Chr.
