The not to be missed natural sites and viewpoints

In a natural, hilly setting, you may have the opportunity to meet a beaver, the most unusual animal in the area...

The hiking trail in the north of the Vosges extends from the banks of the Canal des Vosges and the Moselle River. Not only will you be able to observe various species of birds but you may see, depending on your patience and discretion, the most unusual and engaging animal in this area - the beaver. The latter populates the outskirts of the wild Moselle where it is quiet and away from any civilization.

After the quiet and winding paths of the plains, you will be able to climb the slope towards the heights of the village of Socourt, crossing orchards and meadows. When you arrive at this viewpoint, you will be rewarded for your walk as you look at the splendid panorama overlooking ponds, the Moselle River and the Canal des Vosges. Continue on the trail to the village of Florémont, along the fields and where treasure hunters may have the opportunity to pick up some pentacrinites, old fossils dating from the secondary era...

Once you have passed the ponds and the Moselle, continue your walk up to the top of the mountain and head toward the village of Portieux to visit the glass factory. Nearby, you will find the glass-making Circuit which invites you on a trip to the past on the old railroad track that links the two towns Rambervillers and Vincey...
