October 30, 2022,Le cirque glaciaire du Frankenthal

Jewel of the nature reserve with its peat bog and its pond dominated by rocky cliffs, the glacial cirque opens at the foot of the Hohneck. Access to this remarkable natural site is via a steep corridor. the return is made by a magnificent path on the side of the cliff.
