I liked this pleasant lake, its welcoming terrace. We wanted to return, from the woods, but had to turn back (Spring 2026). Access is now blocked by palisades with warning signs and monitored by cameras. The marked trails of the Club Vosgien have been rerouted. As a result, the desire to go to the bar was forgotten!

I haven't been here for at least 45 years. At the time there was a tavern. We could have a drink there. go pedal boating. On Sunday there were people on the terrace and children laughing. Today, even if the site remains beautiful, there is not much left of this happy place. If any members have any information, I'm interested.
