Historic village in the Vosges Ban-de-Sapt is located on a strategic height in the Vosges and was the scene of fierce fighting during WWI, especially around the côte 627. Today it is a peaceful place with a rich culture of remembrance. The Nécropole nationale de la Fontenelle, original trenches, a panoramic table and a rare steel observation capsule from WWI make the village a unique destination for those who want to combine nature and history.

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.

Coffee is also available. You can sit inside or outside.

The former town hall of Schirmeck on the market square was built in 1864. Today, the building houses clubs and the media library.

Rothau played an important role in the valley's religious history, as evidenced by this 19th-century Protestant church. Admission is free.

This section of the cycle path, which follows the Vélo Bruche route, unfolds in a very pleasant setting shaded by the trees. Whether in autumn or in the summer heat, the setting remains utterly authentic.

Schirmeck lies at the crossroads of history. This small town has played a significant role in the history of Alsace and Lorraine. The town is home to the Alsace-Moselle Memorial, a must-see in the region. Visitors can also discover a beautiful 12th-century castle and the Church of Saint George, which blends Romanesque and Gothic styles.
