Lake Longemer, along with Lake Gerardmer and Lake Retournemer, forms the Valley of Lakes. It is fed by the Vologne River, which still supplies fresh water to the valley, although it is quite cold.

Beautiful swimming area at the reservoir, here it goes flat into the water, making the water is warmer than elsewhere. Parking, lawn, swimming, toilet: everything is available for free!

After wonderful days of bivouacking in the wildness and beauty of the rainy Vosges around C orcieux, we had a lovely final walk together. The last evening of these wonderful 4-day break was spent enjoying it together and taking a digital break again. It is exciting and relaxing to explore paths and trails without a smartphone, almost a bit of …

We start the day with a walk around the lake, together with Matthijs, Lilian rests a bit in the camper.

It is a beautiful round of 6.75 km and actually even more varied than we expected. When we are halfway the sun breaks through the clouds and not much later the sky is predominantly blue.

First, follow a path directly along the water, nicely shaded. At the campsite, the gravel path continues along the road for a bit. Plenty of opportunities for swimming, including for dogs. Duration: approximately 1 hour.

Morning walk around Lake Longemer. Pleasant, pretty and easy. Just a little too much bitumen for our taste.

At 32*, it makes no sense to walk through the vineyards, so we drove to the Vosges Mountains. It was pleasantly cool there with a strong wind. Pepper was probably having his best day of the holiday.

Hard to believe that tomorrow it will only be around ten degrees Celsius and that it will be pouring with rain for three …
