레이브스 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Nestled in a valley between wooded hills, this peaceful village is a gateway to the Vosges. During the First World War, it was close to the front, which is still visible in the area via bunkers, trenches and memorials. Today, Ban-de-Laveline is a popular base for hikers and cyclists, with routes to the Col d’Hermanpaire, the Spitzemberg and the nature reserve around the Tête de Raves. In the village itself, you will find a sober Église Saint-Laurent, a classic Monument aux Morts, and a peaceful atmosphere that invites you to explore.

Less a highlight than a small mystery: In the forest behind Bertrimoutier is "Les sept chemins", a crossroads where, contrary to the name, only (still?) six paths catch the eye. Who doesn't immediately think of the Dutch TV series »The Secret of the Seventh Way«, based on the young adult book of the same name by Tonke Dragt? (Probably everyone who didn't watch a holiday program in 1984 & therefore doesn't know that David Lynch obviously filmed a Dutch children's series long before »Twin Peaks«. There's no other way I can explain this piece of television history today). https://youtu.be/h1xldMZuL1I

An alignment of granite bollards runs along the path.

The Quiche Lorraine is great. Last visited: Saales, Hohneck 2019_07_12 Vosges Tour 2019 E03 https://www.komoot.de/tour/78472517

After crossing the meadows, and before entering the forest, a magnificent view of the valley and Ban de Laveline, with the occasional presence of game.
