The refuge volunteers are very warm. It is possible to eat your packed lunch provided you consume the drinks on sale. Their price is low. In addition, the view is magnificent.

Beautiful hike from Rimbach pres Masevaux. Large car park by the church. After the restaurant opposite, walk a few more steps uphill. There, a hiking sign turns left. Beautiful hillside path with a view of the village. On the way, you can visit a chapel worth seeing. At the end of the village, a stony path leads uphill to the lakes. A wall separates the two lakes. Two rocks offer an elevated place to rest. The hiking trail turns left to the Ferme Auberge Gresson and turns right uphill to Lac Perche (Star Lake).

Very nice lake for picnics. Unfortunately, the weather in mid-September meant that we couldn't swim in the lake. Cold winds from the heights prevented us from staying there for a long time.

Both lakes are beautifully situated and offer great rest areas with beautiful views. The Refuge Neuweiher is located directly on the lake.

The location is a dream. I can't say much more than that. I've only just arrived. First impression: 😍 The direct access from the Col de Charbonniers down to the Auberge has been closed. You now have to take the other possible route. Blue triangle and blue cross. The hut is in a fantastic location and it is.

The Hahnenbrunnen volunteer shelter is open every day during the months of July and August, and on request the rest of the year (please fill in the contact form available on the website to ensure availability). A bar service is available but no meals are served. However, the shelter provides access to a kitchen where you can prepare your own meals.
