From up here you have a great view over the Vosges.

Benches invite you to linger.

Along with the Planche des Belles Filles, the Haut du Roc is the westernmost summit of the Vosges massif. It is distinguished by its panorama, but also by its characteristic sedimentary rocks and its Calvary erected in 1933.

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what prompted people to erect “their” cross at this point. (...) These wayside crosses were erected as visible signs and attract the attention of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has overcome death (...). The cross is part of our life as it was in the life of Jesus.

So I wish that many people … visit the crosses, whether as places of stillness and breathing space before God, whether as places for community gatherings, prayer and praise to God.”
