ウォルシャイトの絶景の山頂・トップ12

The view is almost all the way around and is very impressive. Furthermore, the mountain is a kind of open-air necropolis: many inscriptions carved into the rock commemorate the fierce battles and, above all, the fallen on both sides.

The Schneeberg is a Vosges summit which rises to an altitude of 961 meters and offers a superb view of the Champ du Feu plateau to the south. It also allows you to admire the upper Mossig valley and the Oedenwald forest.

Emerging from the forest, from a height of 664 meters, the pink sandstone rock is a unique site. Places of Celtic worship, the Rock was topped in medieval times by a powerful castle, seat of the legendary county of Dabo. It was destroyed in 1690 on the orders of Louis XIV when the county was annexed to France. The current neo-Romanesque chapel is dedicated to Pope Leo IX, a native of the country. The Rocher de Dabo offers a grandiose view of the vast Vosges forest and the Lorraine plateau. The Rock is visible all year round but access to the platform is regulated during the winter. https://www.visit.alsace/ An observation tower is also integrated into the chapel, from where you can probably admire one of the most beautiful panoramas of the Vosges (weather permitting).

In the country of Dabo, this rock seems to spring from the forest massif to offer a magnificent 360 degree panorama of the surroundings. Between Alsace and Lorraine, it allows you to admire the two regions for miles around. The chapel that culminates at its summit further enhances the landscape.

The Schneeberg, as its name suggests, is a beautiful summit to go and see the snow even when it is lacking elsewhere. Many small paths weave through the woods to reach the viewing platform, in addition to those marked. A rocky promontory offers a superb view of the surrounding peaks and the plain of Alsace. At the bottom of it, a hearth, a plate for grilling and a few places to sit. Be careful with the fire all the same, the place is very wooded and the droughts have weakened it a lot. If you do the GR, don't hesitate to make the detour to see the summit. Otherwise, it is very easily accessible from Wangenbourg-Engenthal.

Despite its 50 meters less, the Petit Donon has nothing to envy to its big brother, the Donon, over which it offers a magnificent view. Going up there is well worth the detour.

From here you have a beautiful view of the Donon with the temple. Up here you meet significantly fewer people than on the Donon. The area was fought over in World War I. Many memorial stones commemorate this.

The Donon is 1009 meters high and is the highest point of the lower Vosges, where the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine meet. The Romans dedicated this place to the god Mercury. The Donon rock, feared by the first Christians, allegedly later determined the worldview of Victor Hugo. Under Napoleon III. the summit is crowned with a copy of an ancient temple.
