Col de la Perheux

Highlight • Mountain Pass

One of my favorite places in the Bruche Valley. Below the Champ du Feu, the vegetation fades to enhance the landscape. You can perfectly observe the Donon and the surrounding peaks in a hilly landscape, especially if you climb Mont Saint-Jean.

The place is perfect for a picnic in summer. And for the most gourmet, the Perheux farmhouse inn is only a few meters away.

Not very technical and not very steep, this path allows you to run while looking up to admire the beauty of the landscapes.

At an altitude of 1099 meters, the Champ du Feu is the highest point in the central part of the Vosges and the highest point in the Lower Alsace department. The summit plateau is characterized by extensive heather and moor areas, a both unique and precious natural landscape.

Champ du Feu Monoliths

Highlight • Natural Monument

At 1,098 meters above sea level, the Champ du Feu is the highest point in the Bas-Rhin. To the south, this vast thatch is topped by a beautiful concrete tower 23 meters high, completely renovated in 2021. From its summit, the landscape reveals an unequaled fresco.

On May 1, 1941, at a place called "Le Struthof", the Nazis opened a concentration camp to exploit a seam of pink granite discovered on the spot. During its activity, the camp also serves as a place for dismantling aircraft engines and medical experiments. The main camp was discovered by the Americans on November 25, 1944. From 1941 to 1945, 52,000 prisoners were deported to the camp and 17,000 died.

Today, a memorial and a necropolis occupy the site of the former main camp. Open to the public, allow up to three hours to visit the entire site.
