Belacker Farmhouse Inn

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Belacker farm-inn stands at an altitude of 1181 meters on stubble fields flooded with lights. For lunch or dinner, this farm is an ideal stop to make the most of the Vosges specialties, which are moreover prepared from meat from the herd. The Belacker can also welcome you for the night.

View of Ferme Auberge Belacker

Highlight • Viewpoint

Between the Belacker farm-inn and the Belackerkopf, the view is magnificent. The mountain pasture landscape, as you see the farm and its animals looming in the distance, is simply superb.

If you come from the top, you will already imagine the beer or the meal that awaits you at the inn. And if you're heading for the heights, don't forget to turn around one last time, to the delight of your eyes.

Very promising hike from the col du hundsrück over the Rossberg to the belacker farm and back via the Gsang and Thanner Hubel farms. Many free sections that alternate with wooded passages. Today it was quite crowded near the parking lot due to a mountain festival. The route was otherwise hardly frequented despite the good weather.

Circuit with varied landscapes. In the forest, on the ridges with panoramic views, with farmhouse inns. What more ?
