Hanau Pond

Highlight • Lake

The Etang de Hanau (Hanauer pond) is a very beautiful lake near Philippsbourg.
On the west bank of the crystal clear Hanauer pond is a peat bog - the only one of its kind in the northern Vosges. There is also a nature trail with information boards on the development process of the peat bog. This can be partly done on boardwalks.

Hohenfels Castle

Highlight • Castle

Hohenfels Castle is particularly notable for its semi-troglodyte section, which included a defensive system integrated into the sandstone rock in which it was built.
This part of the castle is the best-preserved trace of the building, with the so-called eastern wing being almost completely destroyed and inaccessible.

Notre-Dame des Bois

Highlight • Religious Site

The small Notre-Dame-Des-Bois chapel, built in 1859, is one of the hidden treasures of Bitcherland. Located next to the pond of the pea pond, the altar of this sandstone chapel is decorated with a stone tabernacle containing an iron chest, a crucifix and four candlesticks. After the last war, the roof of the prayer house was damaged, the pews, candlesticks, worship objects and the statue of the Mother of God disappeared. The walls inside were covered with inscriptions: the military men of the Maginot line had engraved their names there. The chapel had served as shelter for their horses. During the 1974 renovation, a new statue of Our Lady was blessed and the small bell that was found was repaired.
