The view is almost all the way around and is very impressive. Furthermore, the mountain is a kind of open-air necropolis: many inscriptions carved into the rock commemorate the fierce battles and, above all, the fallen on both sides.

Magnificent small glacial formation lake. Less known than other Vosges lakes, Lac de la Maix is nevertheless one of the most beautiful in the region. We will appreciate its isolation and the almost mystical aspect that emerges from it. It's no surprise that many legends surround it!

The following legend is reported about the Lac de la Maix: On a pilgrimage day, an unknown musician came and made the villagers dance after playing the violin. They danced with such zeal that they did not hear the bell that called to mass. It has been suggested that the stranger is the devil himself. The punishment was not long in coming, the earth opened up under the dancers, who were drowned in the lake that rose up from the earth. Villagers were condemned to continue dancing there until Judgment Day. Today it is said that on some evenings you can still hear the violinist... "what an incredible robber's pistol" :-D
