Discover 1,000 years of mining history at this unique site in the Vosges. The museum combines a permanent exhibition with a guided 125-metre underground tour of a historic silver mine. You will see original tools, an impressive collection of objects, and the famous engravings by Heinrich Gross from 1529, which realistically depict life in the mines.

Nestled in a valley between wooded hills, this peaceful village is a gateway to the Vosges. During the First World War, it was close to the front, which is still visible in the area via bunkers, trenches and memorials. Today, Ban-de-Laveline is a popular base for hikers and cyclists, with routes to the Col d’Hermanpaire, the Spitzemberg and the nature reserve around the Tête de Raves. In the village itself, you will find a sober Église Saint-Laurent, a classic Monument aux Morts, and a peaceful atmosphere that invites you to explore.

This impressive First World War cemetery is located in the hamlet of Aux Zières de la Vigne near Bertrimoutier (Vosges). It consists of two parts: a French national necropolis with 966 individual graves, including 12 Russian and 1 Romanian soldier, and a German military cemetery with 6,749 dead, more than 4,000 of whom are buried in ossuaries. The site was created between 1921 and 1924 and has become a symbol of shared remembrance. The German graves are marked with simple metal crosses; the names of the unknown are on bronze plaques. Most of the dead fell during the Battle of Lorraine in August 1914 or during trench warfare in the years that followed.

This mountain pass in the Vosges connects the Fave and Hure valleys and is located between the villages of Le Beulay and La Petite-Fosse. During the First World War, the pass was strategically important: the Bayerische 39. Reserve-Division controlled the passage here with bunkers and trenches, remains of which are still visible today. The area is rich in relics such as machine gun bunkers, barbed wire posts and shelters from 1916. The pass is also popular with cyclists: the climb from Saint-Dié-des-Vosges is 10.6 km long with an average gradient of 2.9%. Along the way, you can enjoy peaceful forests, historical traces and views of the Spitzemberg and the Tête de Raves.

A small, enchanting artificial waterfall. It's accompanied by a gazebo, a perfect place to take a break during a hike. Below, there's an old fish farm. The whole area dates back to the early 20th century, a time when there was a desire to encourage outdoor activities in nature. However, the rock is believed to be a Celtic remnant, perhaps even related to Druidic practices.
