The second highest of the Vosges mountains is at 1,363 meters at the same time the highest point to reach on asphalt point of the mountains. Although it is at the entrance only a short spur road that branches off from the famous route of the Crêtes. But the view from Hohneck is worth it.

Hiking

With 1,363 meters above sea level, the Hohneck is the third highest peak in the Vosges. It is also one of the most iconic, and perhaps the most beloved. Next to the Route des Crêtes, it is the ideal starting point for family hikes.

The view it offers is simply splendid. It magnificently dominates the lake of Schiessrothried, the slope being very abrupt in this place. A real postcard landscape perfectly representing the Vosges mountains.

Hiking

Super nice view around the summit, which can also be climbed from several sides. Sturdy shoes are a must and warm clothing as well, because despite the warm temperatures the wind is very cold up there.
