A water basin and several benches have been installed at this crossroads of forest roads and hiking trails. I can't deduce the name from it.

The Celtic camp of the Bure is a fortified plateau bordering the Haute-Meurthe valley in the Grand-East of France. The plateau, now wooded, lies between the communes of Saint-Dié-des-Vosges and that of Hurbache, at the western end of the Ormont massif. This site, known for 23 years of archaeological research from 1964 to 1986, has been classified as a Historical Monument since August 6, 1982. The site has been inhabited since at least the Neolithic period. Then used intensively by the Celts and later by the Romans. There is a lot to see from that time, also because there have not been any settlement activities worth mentioning for a long time.
