Here at the quay, there's a beautiful view the length of the lake, several boat rentals, a small free swimming area at the southern end, and a short promenade at the northern end that leads to the lido. Of course, you'll also find restaurants with lake views here.

The end of this route (before you cross the bridge back to the main road) was now closed because it was apparently private property. We were threatened very aggressively by the property owner, who fired several shots at us. It was a very unpleasant experience.

Beautiful roads, for all types of bikes

You can easily walk around the lake.

This is the largest natural lake in the Vosges Mountains. The setting is simply splendid. You can enjoy a wide range of water activities here. Swimming is only permitted in supervised areas. A hiking trail has been developed to encircle the lake.

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.

Yes, I confirm the path "on the other side of the road" is a little, sometimes a lot, technical. The day I did it we were coming out of about fifteen days of rain. It was almost a small stream. What a hassle that day. But even under the grayness the landscape is magnificent.
