    Hiking

    The Storkenkopf, which means "stork's head" in Alsatian, is the second highest peak in the Vosges range. It culminates at 1,366 meters above sea level. It is a prime location to admire the Grand Ballon which overlooks it from a good fifty meters high.

    This summit is accessible by a very charming forest path, which you take from the Route des Crêtes. Its southern flank is also traversed by the GR 5 (this path does not allow access to the summit).

    The second highest mountain in the Vosges. Great view of the Grand Ballon. The two mountains can be easily combined.
