Wissgrut, Mountain summit in Vosges Massif, France

The Wissgrut mountain reaches an elevation of 1,124 meters and stands between the departments of Haut-Rhin, Vosges, and Territoire de Belfort.

The mountain area underwent significant development in 1936 when forest roads and hiking trails were constructed to accommodate the increasing number of visitors.

The Virgin of Wissgrut statue was constructed in 1946 by Xavier Berna following his return from military service during World War II.

Visitors can access the mountain farm restaurant from Wednesday to Friday between 11:00 and 17:00, and during weekends from 10:00 until 18:00.

The mountain path follows an ancient border marked by concrete posts, leading past the former Gentiane Refuge toward the Chantoiseau Pass.
