    Tips

    December 29, 2020

    The Lac de Lande, located at an altitude of 1060 meters below the Kastelberg, is, in contrast to most other mountain lakes in the Vosges, not a natural glacial lake that has been further dammed. It was created in 1983 as a reservoir to produce electricity and to feed the snow cannons of the La Bresse Hohneck ski area above the lake in winter. There was massive opposition to the project from environmentalists who did not want to see the remarkable raised moor in the area flooded. Finally, it was agreed that, in compensation, the floating moor Tourbière de Machais, the only one of its kind in the Vosges, would be placed under special protection. Remains of the former moor can now only be seen on the southeast bank of the lake.

      Looks like a reservoir. Not as nice as Blanchemer. Still nice enough.
