In the country of Dabo, this rock seems to spring from the forest massif to offer a magnificent 360 degree panorama of the surroundings. Between Alsace and Lorraine, it allows you to admire the two regions for miles around. The chapel that culminates at its summit further enhances the landscape.

Emerging from the forest, from a height of 664 meters, the pink sandstone rock is a unique site.

Places of Celtic worship, the Rock was topped in medieval times by a powerful castle, seat of the legendary county of Dabo. It was destroyed in 1690 on the orders of Louis XIV when the county was annexed to France. The current neo-Romanesque chapel is dedicated to Pope Leo IX, a native of the country.

The Rocher de Dabo offers a grandiose view of the vast Vosges forest and the Lorraine plateau. The Rock is visible all year round but access to the platform is regulated during the winter.

An observation tower is also integrated into the chapel, from where you can probably admire one of the most beautiful panoramas of the Vosges (weather permitting).

The Dabo rock is deep in Alsace in the middle of the forest, it goes steeply uphill. You can drive wonderfully by car or hike. At the top is the Dabo chapel and from there you have a wonderful all-round view of Alsace. A trip there is worth it!
