ミッシェルバッハの湖周辺のおすすめ滝ハイキング＆ウォーキング

These are the Erzenbach Waterfalls. This one has an approximate height of 6 meters.

It's handy for avoiding getting run over 😁

The chapel was built in 1930 on the site of a former wayside cross. It is dedicated to Saint Morand, a Cluny monk who became an apostle of the Sundgau region (11th century), patron saint of the parish of Steinbach and the village's winegrowers. It is also commonly known as Lohkapala.

In his Stations of the Cross meditation—written on Good Friday 2025 in the Roman Colosseum—Pope Francis, who died a few days later (Easter Monday), invited us to let ourselves be contemplated by the crucified love of Jesus: "Our darkness seeks the light. (...) Now [the crowd] encounters the spectacle of a love never before seen, a beauty that moves them to change their minds. To those who see you die, Lord, you give the opportunity to beat their breasts and repent, to strike their hearts so that their hardness may break. Jesus, grant us, who often still observe you from afar, that we may always remember you in our lives, so that even death, when you come one day, may find us alive." (Pope Francis)

In autumn, sturdy footwear is recommended!

The Rehbrunnel Shelter, altitude 759m The first Rehbrunnel Shelter was built in 1988 by the City of Thann with the assistance of the ONF (French Forestry Office). Mr. Jacques Fimbel, a volunteer with the Thann Vosges Club, designed the plans. The shelter was known among hikers for its octagonal shape and prime location. First renovated in 1999, the shelter was damaged by the elements and had suffered wear and tear over time. Therefore, the City of Thann launched a new construction project, in collaboration with the Gustave Eiffel Building School in Cernay, the Thann Vosges Club, and the ONF (French Forestry Office). The shelter was dismantled in June 2024, and after a year of work, the new Rehbrunnel Shelter was inaugurated on May 27, 2025.

A brand-new wooden shelter. Inside, there's a stove and three seating areas. There's barely enough room for a bivouac on the floor, as the tables are attached to the ground and there's little space between the benches. However, you could still spread out a bit. I also managed to set up my single-person inner tent right next to the door. There's a well with drinking water 150 meters below the hut! It's a perfect spot for a night, and the view from this rocky, spiritual spot down into the valley toward Thann is outstanding!

Close to the Grand Ballon, the Molkenrain refuge is ideally located facing the Alps. The refuge is open continuously from June 15 to September 15 and remains accessible every weekend and public holiday outside the high season. You will also find a bar and a restaurant a few meters away, at the farm inn of the same name.
