Lake Schiessrothried

Highlight • Lake

Formerly a raised bog, it became a mountain lake through the construction of a small dam.

The lake can also be seen from above (ascent to) the Hohneck.

Impressive cliffs

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful view on rocks and suitable terrain for a bivouac. And the sunrises and sunsets are fantastic. 🌄🌅
In the morning and evening, when peace settles on the hiking trails, you can observe chamois here, which like to stay in the terrain of the Spitzköpfe.

Wormspel Combe

Highlight • Gorge

If the Hohneck is one of the most famous peaks in the Vosges Mountains, it's certainly thanks to the superb scenery of the Wormspel valley, which lies just a short distance away. The valley offers a breathtaking panorama of Lake Schiessrothried and the Wormsa Valley.

Hohneck

Highlight • Summit

The second highest peak in the Vosges Mountains, at 1,363 meters, is also the highest point in the range accessible by asphalt. While the access road is only a short side road branching off the well-known Route des Crêtes, the view from the Hohneck summit is well worth the effort.

Beautiful hike on the heights of Hohneck.
Its flora and fauna is magnificent to observe.
Close contact with chamois is possible.
Part of the route resembles a via ferrata; physical fitness is recommended.

September 11, 2021,Vogesen - Schießroth Honeck - mit Kletterteil

A really great tour, which, however, also requires an experienced hiker. Sometimes you have to shimmy along ropes or walk over boulder fields on steep slopes.
