      The Val du Pâtre, Schaeferthal in German, is easily accessible by car. From there, many hiking and mountain biking trails are possible.
      The legend :
      Shepherds grazed their animals in this sylvan landscape in the 14th century.
      Summer being very hot and rain rare, grass and water were terribly lacking.
      By dint of praying and imploring heaven and the Virgin Mary, a miracle occurred: a spring gushed out, saving men and beasts.
      As a sign of recognition, the shepherds erected an oratory then a small chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
      This place became a place of pilgrimage where people came in procession from the surrounding area during serious epidemics.
      Animals were also taken there to have them blessed.
      The spring still flows and feeds the fountain in front of the chapel
