A challenge on a mountain bike without a motor. But the downhill trails are great. It's worth it 👍🏻

No, swimming or bathing is not permitted in Lac de la Lauch. Located in the Vallée de la Lauch, Lac de la Lauch is a reservoir fed by the Lauchbach stream, which flows in and out. It serves as a source of drinking water. The valley, with its meltwater streams running along the mountain slopes, is relatively rich in water and features shady forests.

I was there in the evening and the area was freely accessible and deserted. In the evening sun and with the heather in bloom it was almost grotesquely beautiful...

The way up is full of street paintings from the last Tour de France stages that went up there. It's a special feeling even without all the extras and I can recommend everyone to try the climb. Once you're at the top, you have the choice between different descents. I opted for the gravel descent, which was an additional physical challenge as it was very steep and rocky. There is a lovely mountain pasture on the way down where you can recharge your batteries with blueberry cake, coffee and non-alcoholic beer (Ferme Auberge Strohberg). It's also a good place to go if you've "forgotten" your bars and gel.

Beautiful Vosges Lake where I don't think you are allowed to swim unfortunately

A worthwhile destination by bike and a nice starting point for hikes.

Very windy but great view
