The chapel 'Our Lady of the Three Ears of Corn' is famous for an apparition of the Virgin Mary in 1491. In 1968, a modern pilgrimage church was built, which in 1991 received a triple tower as a symbol of the "three ears of corn."

The Cimetière Militaire Français du Wettstein, located on the Col du Wettstein near Orbey, is an impressive French military cemetery from the First World War. It contains the remains of 3,535 French soldiers, mainly chasseurs alpins, who died during the fierce fighting at Le Linge in 1915. Many of them are buried in two ossuaries. The site is marked by a monumental cross with the inscription "PAX" and a bronze statue of a dying soldier, which gives the whole a subdued and poignant atmosphere. This necropolis, also known as the "cemetery of the chasseurs", is a silent witness to the horrors of war and a place of reflection in the middle of the mountain landscape.

The Col du Calvaire (1144 m) is a mountain pass in the Vosges that connects Le Valtin to Orbey in Alsace. Situated on the Route des Crêtes, between the Col du Bonhomme and the Col de la Schlucht, this pass offers magnificent views of Lac Blanc and the surrounding peaks. The name refers to an old Calvary that once stood above the lake. During the First World War, the German front line ran along this pass, which also gives the place a historical charge. In winter, the pass is part of the Lac Blanc ski area and is partly closed to traffic.

Trois-Épis is a small, historic place of pilgrimage in the Vosges, situated on a mountainside above Alsace. The village was founded in the 15th century after an apparition of Mary and has developed into a spiritual place with a serene atmosphere. Above the village stands the monumental statue of Christ by Le Galtz, erected in 1930 to commemorate the reunification of Alsace with France. From here you have an impressive view of the Alsace plain, the Black Forest and, in clear weather, even the Alps.

The Col du Wettstein (880 m) is a historic mountain pass in the Vosges Mountains, located between Orbey and Soultzeren, and is a gateway to some of the most beautiful hiking and cycling routes in the Ballons des Vosges Regional Nature Park. The climb from Soultzeren is 6.8 km long with an average gradient of 5.5%, and offers a peaceful, green setting with beautiful views over the valley. At the summit you will find the Wettstein French Military Cemetery, an impressive memorial to those who fell in the First World War.

The Col du Louchpach (978 m) is a lesser-known but charming mountain pass in the Vosges, located along the Route des Crêtes. The climb is relatively short but tough, and leads through a quiet, wooded area with little traffic – ideal for cyclists who want to avoid the crowds of the larger cols. The pass forms a beautiful connection between the Meurthe and Weiss valleys and is often part of longer tours towards Lac Blanc or the Col du Calvaire. The ascent via the Rudlin road is particularly atmospheric: narrow, shady and with an authentic mountain feel.
