Fountain in La Vancelle

Highlight • Other

Rich fountain with wonderfully cold water. The water is non-potable, i.e. for drinking, possibly only with a filter.
The very good Hotel Restaurant Elisabeth is 100m further down.

View from Chalmont over Lièpvre

Highlight • Viewpoint

From its height of 702 meters, Chalmont offers a beautiful view of Lièpvre, at the beginning of the Val d'Argent. To enjoy the panorama, a pretty little path provides access to a rocky promontory.

The view of the Rhine plain and the Hochkönigsburg is very nice. There is also a bench to sit on. There are shadows too.
