Road cycling
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.

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.
