October 17, 2026, Lac du Forlet

The lake is located at the "Le Forlet" site in the municipality of Soultzeren and is embedded in a wide glacial cirque surrounded by steep slopes that rise up to 1,306 meters (Gazon du Faing, Gazon de Faîte, etc.). The current name of the lake is based on a confusion. Originally, it was called "Lac du Foehrlé," which means "surrounded by small pines" – derived from "Föhre" (the tree species). Over time, this name changed to "Forlen" and finally to "Forellen" (trout). This is the origin of the current French name; on the IGN map, it is listed as "Lac des Truites ou du Forlet" (Trout Lake or Forlet Lake). The abbots of Murbach used the small lake as a trout pond. Carp were kept in a slightly higher pond; this has since silted up and turned into a moor. Between 1849 and 1853, work was carried out to dredge and dam the lake to ensure that the Fecht river would have sufficient water flow even in summer.

It always amazes me to see how long remnants of wars remain in the landscape. This was one of many other signs of WWI.

Very pretty are these crooked half-timbered houses right on the water!

Enduro Trail Memorial: Starts in the forest, with a fine forest floor with roots and rocks. It's quite slippery when dry. Later, it transitions into an easy flow trail.

/!\ In the direction from Lac du Forlet to Lac Vert, the trail is very difficult, and many sections are reserved for expert mountain bikers. /!\ In the direction from Lac du Forlet to Lac Vert, carrying your bike will be mandatory for a large portion of the route!

Luckily, there are a few fewer people here than elsewhere, but yes, it is a tourist hot spot...

If you like crowds, this is the place to visit. To appreciate this peaceful village, you'll have to come back in the off-season; you won't regret it.
