The landmark of the spa town of St. Märgen are the two bright church towers of the abbey church of the Assumption. In the monastery museum you can learn something about the history of the typical Black Forest clocks. Stroll through the streets of the tranquil town and relax in the quiet atmosphere.

View of the Vosges

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Vosges ([voˈgeːzən], plural tantum; French les Vosges [voːʒ], German formerly also Wasgauen, Wasgenwald or Wasigenwald) are a low mountain range in eastern France with the highest elevation of 1424 m. They are shared with the Palatinate Forest, which extends north of the mountains without morphological separation, part of a uniform low mountain range of about 8000 km² total area, which extends from the Burgundian Gate (line Belfort-Ronchamp-Lure) to the Börrstadter Depression (line Winnweiler-Börrstadt-Göllheim) and the western boundary of the Upper Rhine lowlands.

Frequently used path between St. Peter and St. Märgen.
Particularly beautiful in the autumn sun, as there are some benches at the edge of the forest that invite you to linger.
