Rocher de Mutzig, Mountain summit and viewpoint in Lutzelhouse, France
The sandstone peak of Rocher de Mutzig rises to 1008 meters, forming part of a resistant Triassic cornice in the Vosges mountains of northeastern France.
During the early 1800s, the summit provided clear views extending to Strasbourg, before dense forest growth limited the panoramic perspectives of the Bruche Valley.
The name evolved from Katte or Cat in Alemannic dialect, referring to groups of fractured rocks that demonstrated high resistance to glacial erosion processes.
Visitors access the summit through the GR53 hiking trail from Lutzelhouse, covering 19 kilometers with an elevation gain of 882 meters over an eight-hour journey.
The mountain features distinct geological formations of conglomerate and puddingstone that remained steadfast against erosion while surrounding areas diminished over time.
