What a magnificent tree! Unfortunately, it's a little weak on its right flank—but it still welcomes every enthusiastic visitor 🌳

A ruin of a forgotten castle, like so many others in our beautiful Vosges mountains. A gravel bike ride that I really enjoyed.

The trail to the waterfall is very nice. If you're mountain biking, you should avoid the waterfall on warm weekends and holidays, as there are a lot of pedestrians around.
