The Schaeferthalpass (French: Col du Schaeferthal) is an important mountain pass located at an altitude of 1,224 to 1,228 meters in the High Vosges. It connects the ice-age Frankenthal Valley with the glacial cirque of the Schiessrothried lake and forms a central hub for challenging circular hikes.

From the Gaschney parking lot, it's about a 15-minute walk along a mountain path to reach the Schallern. Wear hiking boots and leave your rolling suitcases at home: the path climbs a bit… but the view at the top is well worth the effort!

Beautiful peat bog, reminds me of Scotland, where you often walk on granite peat. It vibrates under your feet. Two photos show my stick with the tip of it in it, and also all the way in. The peat is quite thick here. Beautiful vegetation, and lizards can be seen too.
