The Ferme Auberge du Grand Ballon is an ideal starting point for the hike. A stop after the tour is a real treat. Very tasty Alsatian dishes, e.g. warm goat cheese from our own production or a Tarte Myrtilles. There are also different, self-produced cheeses to buy.

Haag Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Route des Crêtes, or the Vosges ridge road, is one of the most impressive mountain roads in France. The scenic Route des Crêtes runs along the main ridge of the Southern Vosges almost entirely at an altitude of 1200 m.
Originally, it was laid out by French troops as a supply route during the First World War. Today, in the snow-free months, it is mainly visitors to the Vosges who travel on it. It runs for 75 km from Col du Bonhomme in the north via Col de la Schlucht, Hohneck, Markstein, Grand Ballon and Cernay to Thann in the south.
The route passes several sites from the First World War and touches the highest mountain in the Vosges, the Grand Ballon.
Mostly deciduous and mixed forests line the road, or there are wonderful views of the wooded slopes of the Vosges, the Rhine plain and the Black Forest opposite. On a clear day the view extends as far as the Swiss Alps and Montblanc.
On nice days it is very popular with bikers with and without motor, and hikers get their money's worth on the left and right of the road.
Many convertible tours are also made here, which come from all regions of Europe.
The Ferme, (cozy Alsatian country inns), which can be found along the entire route, offer refreshment opportunities.

Haag Farm

Highlight • Rest Area

In fact, the Hague is one of the few farms and inns that exclusively offer products from the country house and are certified organic. All the cured meats come from their pigs, processed by Laurent in Thillot, the cheese from the milk of their herd.
Not to forget the brilliant view of the Belchen and, when the weather is clear, as far as the Alps.
