October 2, 2023,🇫🇷🥾🎒🤗Sentier de la Bloy & Sentier des Roches (Felsenpfad) - Col de la Schlucht Hohneck (1363m) - Runde von Gaschney

Wow, what a magnificent hike in breathtaking surroundings in the Vosges. Planned for a while ago but finally done: ascent of the Sentier des Roches and Sentier de la Bloy with a detour to Hohneck (1363m, third highest mountain in the Vosges). Start and end of the tour in Gaschney (large parking lot, quieter than Col de la Schlucht). This …

A hot tour in every respect...starting at the Col de la Schlucht, we headed over hill and dale, with many magnificent views, beautiful plants, a bit of rainforest, and a fairly constant 27 degrees Celsius to our destination, the Hohneck, the third-highest mountain in the Vosges at 1,363 meters. Thankfully, we stopped for a break about 2 kilometers from the …

One of the classic hikes in the Southern Vosges is the rock path at the Col de lagorge.

We started our hike at the parking lot in Gaschney. From here we hiked on the GR 531 towards the Ferme Auberge Frankenthal. This is initially a wide forest path, which, however, turned into a little brother of the rock bike at …

August 18, 2025,🇨🇵 Sentier Les Roches – le petit et le grand Hohneck

I had planned the hike for a Monday, but I was wrong. It's still school holidays in Alsace, and the parking lots were already full in the morning.
After breakfast at the Auberge Col de la Schlucht, we immediately started on the Sentier des Roches, which requires surefootedness and a head for heights. I highly recommend this wonderful trail; watch …

There was a heavy thunderstorm in the morning. When I arrived at the Col de la Schlucht at 9 a.m., I decided to do the hike over the rocky path with its grapples and ladders. And the rest of @achim and Carla's tour too.
Very varied, strenuous (especially when I walked in the sun).
Beautiful tour.
