The Cascade du Bockloch is an atmospheric waterfall in Alsace (Haut-Rhin department), located on the wooded northeastern bank (right bank) of the Kruth-Wildenstein Lake. The waterfall is fed by the Hinterbockloch mountain stream, which originates on the slopes of the nearby Grand Ventron massif. Water plunges here via an abrupt, steep rock face about 12 meters down into a small, photogenic basin, just before it flows into the reservoir.

The Sèchemer pond is a small pond that you will find 40 minutes walk from the Lac des Corbeaux. It is possible to get there on foot or by mountain bike. Peaceful and quiet, you can stop there for a picnic and to admire the many dragonflies.

The Kruth-Wildenstein lake is a reservoir in the Vosges mountains, created by a dam on the Thur river. It serves for flood protection, water regulation, and energy production. Today, the lake is a popular destination for hiking, fishing, swimming, and water sports in a charming natural setting.

La chaume des Champis, located between La Bresse and the col de la Schlucht, is a must-see for nature lovers and fans of exceptional panoramas. This magnificent viewpoint offers a breathtaking view of the Vosges ridges, with iconic peaks such as the Rainkopf, the Rothenbachkopf, and the Batteriekopf standing majestically on the horizon. On site, you will find a charming little refuge, ideal for a relaxing break at the edge of the woods, where you can recharge while admiring the landscape.

The Schmargult inn is right along the La Bresse-Hohneck ski slopes (red slope "la Lande"), which is very convenient for eating or sheltering from the blizzard.
