The rock path is amazing. At first you don't believe that the path will develop so incredibly beautifully and that it will be difficult to walk, but you will be taught better. Anyone who is traveling in the Vosges should definitely do the trail.

If you love alpine tours, the circular route in the Vosges is the right place for you. After the pass Col de la Gorge is behind you, you roam through forests with moss-covered trees towards the Hohneck summit. These have a mystical effect, you feel like you are in the land of fairies and meadows. Once you have left the woods behind you, the mighty Martinswand rises below the Hohneck. If you are lucky you can see mountain goats there. From Hohneck it goes through a forest past the Krappenfelsen to the beautiful Frankenthal. Definitely visit the grotto Dagobert. After the Frankenthal it goes back on the rock path to the starting point Col de lagorge. Here the alpine friends get their money's worth. I was particularly fascinated by the rock path. At the end, brasseries and restaurants invite you to relax in comfort.
Conclusion.
A very beautiful and varied circular route. However, not easy, rather classified as difficult. With children you can walk it to Hohneck, but from the Hohneck in the direction of Frankenthal it becomes very dangerous for children and people with restricted mobility. Chasms, rock paths etc. . You should be sure-footed and wear good shoes. Beautiful nature with many and interesting facets.
Pure nature and brilliant views
