Armurerie du Cerf Deer Enclosure

Highlight • Structure

Through the trees, I could see some deer on the opposite slope.
There are several enclosures there with entire herds.
So if you haven't seen a deer yet, you can go here to see them.

Old Sawmill and Large Pond

Highlight • Structure

The sawmill is now history, and the mill house is now a residential building, and the sawmill is no longer in use. Some of the equipment is still standing around.
I didn't drive into the yard, though, for privacy reasons.
The sawmill's pond is enormous, and you drive along it for quite a while on the road.

This is a truly special place.
Impressive sandstone cliffs with a huge hole to look through.
A spring at the foot of the cliffs, and further along the D87, a breathtaking tree-lined road.
We were here completely alone on March 21, 2025 – no one, no cars – just an equally breathtaking bird concert.

Philippsbourg Village

Highlight • Settlement

There's a bakery here that's open for lunch, and two restaurants. Apart from that, I can't think of anything that makes this place a highlight.

Hanau Pond

Highlight • Lake

The Etang de Hanau (Hanauer pond) is a very beautiful lake near Philippsbourg.
On the west bank of the crystal clear Hanauer pond is a peat bog - the only one of its kind in the northern Vosges. There is also a nature trail with information boards on the development process of the peat bog. This can be partly done on boardwalks.
