サンクト・アマリンの絶景の山頂・トップ20

The highest elevation on the Hartmannsweilerkopf, unfortunately also one of the most tragic places on this battlefield. Around the cross there are many trenches, fortresses and fortifications which can also be visited. These tell the sad story of this otherwise beautiful place.

Historical place in the Vosges that was hotly contested during the First World War

Great view, when the weather is clear you can see as far as the Black Forest.

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

magnificent view of the Grand Ballon

The area in the immediate vicinity of this cross was where the fiercest fighting between the opponents took place in 1915/16 and many of the facilities here can be hiked through on marked paths. There are also many benches around the summit cross for contemplation, enjoying the view or simply resting.

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).

From its 1272 meters high, the Petit Ballon is certainly one of the most beautiful viewpoints of the Vosges massif. Its vast expanse of high stubble and the absence of adjacent summits allow it to dominate the landscape at 360°, and in particular the plain of Alsace to the east with the Black Forest in the background. The ideal place to admire the sunset, especially since several farm inns are within walking distance to enjoy a delicious marcaire meal and/or spend the night. Less touristy than the large Vosges ridge facing it, the Petit Ballon provides an authentic mountain feeling, with its Tibetan flags, its statue of the Virgin and its Vosges breed cow farms.
