Lake Longemer, along with Lake Gerardmer and Lake Retournemer, forms the Valley of Lakes. It is fed by the Vologne River, which still supplies fresh water to the valley, although it is quite cold.

There are several swimming spots that are ideal for cooling off after a strenuous hike.

Pré des Feignes Beach, Lake Longemer

Highlight • Beach

Beautiful swimming area at the reservoir, here it goes flat into the water, making the water is warmer than elsewhere. Parking, lawn, swimming, toilet: everything is available for free!

We start the day with a walk around the lake, together with Matthijs, Lilian rests a bit in the camper.

It is a beautiful round of 6.75 km and actually even more varied than we expected. When we are halfway the sun breaks through the clouds and not much later the sky is predominantly blue.

At 32*, it makes no sense to walk through the vineyards, so we drove to the Vosges Mountains. It was pleasantly cool there with a strong wind. Pepper was probably having his best day of the holiday.

We took advantage of a relatively good weather time loop 😊
We wanted to go around the lake to the right and had to stop because the water was too high in one place.
Then we walked back and left around the lake on a cycle path. Past a restaurant that was still closed and two campsites.
The parking lot …

Morning walk around Lake Longemer. Pleasant, pretty and easy. Just a little too much bitumen for our taste.

After wonderful days of bivouacking in the wildness and beauty of the rainy Vosges around C orcieux, we had a lovely final walk together. The last evening of these wonderful 4-day break was spent enjoying it together and taking a digital break again. It is exciting and relaxing to explore paths and trails without a smartphone, almost a bit of …

First, follow a path directly along the water, nicely shaded. At the campsite, the gravel path continues along the road for a bit. Plenty of opportunities for swimming, including for dogs. Duration: approximately 1 hour.
