On this road, you have a beautiful overview of the Plateau des mille étangs, which extends over 220m2 between Lure and Faucogney. This quantity of ponds is the result of the retreat of the glaciers which covered the Vosges until the last ice age, 12,000 years ago. This landscape offers great wealth for biodiversity, particularly with the presence of peat bogs. We call this region 'Little Finland', you will quickly understand why!
