ペルテスの天然記念物・トップ20

Quite a nice route, with a short stretch of track between the 19th and 22nd km

photo break for the cycling group.

The Corne Biche rock, perched in the heart of the Vosges massif, offers a spectacular view of the dense forests and surrounding valleys. This rocky promontory is surrounded by pines and firs, creating a wild and peaceful atmosphere. From the summit, the panorama stretches as far as the eye can see.

The Gros Fouteau road, in the heart of the managed biological reserve of Mont Ussy and Butte aux Aires, offers an immersion in unspoiled nature. This forest path winds through wild and varied landscapes, where century-old trees, such as the majestic Gros Fouteau, stand proudly. Here, you can discover the richness of the local biodiversity, with green clearings and magnificent viewpoints of the surrounding hills.

Nice surprise

Sshhht silence and watch

The cyclops visit is not free, 12 euros entry but it lasts 45 minutes and is very interesting. Limit of 25 people at a time. Please note that photos inside are prohibited. I recommend the first visit at 10:30 a.m. (less crowded)

What immediately catches the eye are the water lilies which partly cover this 20 m diameter pond. In March, toads and frogs meet up to lay eggs. The name of this pond comes from the fact that a man named Piat, general forest guard, would have had trouble with people who had to complain about his severity in the service and who would have thrown him into the pond. This forced bath was not fatal to him, since he died at the age of 81, on August 26, 1805, leaving a large family.
