ラ・ウシエールのおすすめツーリングルート

Nestled in the heart of the Vosges Mountains, it is the largest natural lake in the massif. Surrounded by forests and mountains, it offers a peaceful and scenic setting, ideal for walking, swimming or water sports.

Here at the quay, there's a beautiful view the length of the lake, several boat rentals, a small free swimming area at the southern end, and a short promenade at the northern end that leads to the lido. Of course, you'll also find restaurants with lake views here.

Beautiful roads, for all types of bikes

This is the largest natural lake in the Vosges Mountains. The setting is simply splendid. You can enjoy a wide range of water activities here. Swimming is only permitted in supervised areas. A hiking trail has been developed to encircle the lake.

As a memorial to the many dead, such a "MONUMENT AUX MORTS" (usually called a "Central Memorial" or "War Memorial" in German-speaking countries) is still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." it says in the so-called "Hymn of Praise of Simeon" (Luke's Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny. Therefore, the term "fallen memorial" is now sometimes used instead of the "war memorial" that was previously common in German. In the French-speaking world, however, this aspect of commemoration of the dead has long been included in the most commonly used term "MONUMENT AUX MORTS". Regardless of language and nation, such a memorial has two important and at the same time everlasting tasks: -1- To keep alive the memory of the suffering and horror of war, -2- and to remind people of the need to maintain peace in the long term.

Nice campsite, lots of shade and benches. Very quiet. No restaurant.

A memorial to the fallen of the First World War battles on the western front (Marne, Somme, Verdun, Vosges).

Road that winds at the bottom of a very deep valley where the sun has trouble penetrating. This place is called the "Glacière" because the almost total absence of sunshine and the mountain stream fed by very cold water create a very cold area that can surprise walkers.
