The Rainkopf is a mythical summit of the Vosges massif. From its height of 1,305 meters above sea level, it is characterized by its eastern flank, which bears witness to the region's ancient glacial activity. The luckiest will perhaps have the opportunity to observe ibexes there.

Wormspel Combe

Highlight • Gorge

If the Hohneck is one of the most famous peaks in the Vosges Mountains, it's certainly thanks to the superb scenery of the Wormspel valley, which lies just a short distance away. The valley offers a breathtaking panorama of Lake Schiessrothried and the Wormsa Valley.

Hohneck

Highlight • Summit

The second highest peak in the Vosges Mountains, at 1,363 meters, is also the highest point in the range accessible by asphalt. While the access road is only a short side road branching off the well-known Route des Crêtes, the view from the Hohneck summit is well worth the effort.
