Kruth Dam

Highlight • Lake

Lake Kruth-Wildenstein is a picturesque mountain lake in the Vosges, surrounded by forests and mountains. It offers activities like swimming, fishing, hiking and biking. There is a bike path that loops around the lake, but it's hard gravel and not entirely suitable for road bikes.

It is even nicer to hike up the waterfall. In the right season you can find z. B. plenty of toadstools ;-)
