The Petite Cascade de Tendon drops the Scouet, a stream that flows into the Moselle, in two stages 10 meters deep.
About 1 km away is the Grande Cascade de Tenon. This is easily accessible by a footpath.

First trip to the Tendon waterfalls in the Vosges.

The journey through the narrow valleys and the fantastic views over the green hills are breathtaking.

The ideal starting point for the tour is the parking lot at the large or small waterfall. There you'll meet many visitors, but most of them only stay close to the two attractions.
