Tête des Neufs Bois, Mountain summit in Vosges Mountains, France.
The Tête des Neufs Bois reaches an elevation of 1,228 meters and marks the boundary between the Haut-Rhin and Vosges departments in northeastern France.
The summit area served as a territorial demarcation point between France and the German Empire from 1871 to 1945, following the Franco-Prussian War.
Local residents maintain traditions about the Sotré, a mountain spirit said to inhabit the surrounding forests and protect the natural environment.
The mountain features multiple hiking trails, including the GR531 path, which connects to the nearby Rouge-Gazon ski resort and Saint-Maurice-sur-Moselle village.
A geodetic marker indicates the highest point on the Alsatian side, where steep slopes contrast with the gentler Lorraine-facing inclines.
