바비세로 최고의 사이클링 경로

A wonderfully landscaped garden, inviting leisurely strolls… It reveals a succession of intimate spaces, such as the belvedere which houses a library.

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.

Beautiful lake. Time to relax and enjoy.

Beautiful roads, for all types of bikes

A fun mountain bike route. From the Steniola campsite, there's a steep climb uphill. Many paths are cobbled, with occasional asphalt sections. At the end, there's a grassy, cobbled path. Not suitable for regular bikes.

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.
