The Cascade de la Serva is located in the Vosges in Alsace, near the Champ du Feu. The stream La Serva originates there at an altitude of over 1000 m in the moor and forest areas of the high plateau. On its approximately 3 km long course, it flows through dense Vosges forest and forms the well-known Cascade de la Serva with several natural waterfall cascades, before later flowing into the Rothaine.

What a magnificent tree! Unfortunately, it's a little weak on its right flank—but it still welcomes every enthusiastic visitor 🌳
