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.

From the Kapfenkapelle woman / man has a great view of the Rhine Valley and Vosges when the weather is nice. Also easy to reach in winter as the path is groomed.
