Kastelberg Snowfields Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

There are two springs on the way, which can also be seen as sources on the IGN map.
Other than that, the path is phenomenal. I saw chamois and horses this morning.

Beautiful view on rocks and suitable terrain for a bivouac. And the sunrises and sunsets are fantastic. 🌄🌅
In the morning and evening, when peace settles on the hiking trails, you can observe chamois here, which like to stay in the terrain of the Spitzköpfe.

Hohneck

Highlight • Summit

The second highest peak in the Vosges Mountains, at 1,363 meters, is also the highest point in the range accessible by asphalt. While the access road is only a short side road branching off the well-known Route des Crêtes, the view from the Hohneck summit is well worth the effort.

Wormspel Combe

Highlight • Gorge

If the Hohneck is one of the most famous peaks in the Vosges Mountains, it's certainly thanks to the superb scenery of the Wormspel valley, which lies just a short distance away. The valley offers a breathtaking panorama of Lake Schiessrothried and the Wormsa Valley.

March 13, 2026,Stürmische Runde Kastelberg und Hohneck🌪️☁️

The weather really battered us today. What a storm! We crossed a few snowfields, enjoyed views all the way to the Alps, admired fields of daffodils, and found a perfect picnic spot among the rocks on a steep slope. But we cancelled our final loop over the Col du Wormpsel because the wind was shaking us so badly. To top …

August 15, 2021,Kastelberg (Vogesen) mit Blick auf Hohneck

Very scenic hike. In good weather you can see very far on the ridge.
Since the weather can change quickly, it makes sense to have a rain jacket in your backpack. Because of the existing stony passages, hiking boots with grippy and firm soles are recommended. I would also take hiking sticks with me. Not a long round, but with …

With a forecast of 25°C, we chose the Ferme et Auberge Breitzhousen on the Route des Crêtes as our starting point for today's hike.
We started off gently uphill towards Hohneck, then turned south before the actual climb and drifted along the steep slope to the viewpoint near Spitzköpfle. Up here, an almost gale-force wind blows, bringing a bit of …
