Wissgrut, Mountain summit in Vosges Massif, France
Wissgrut is a mountain summit in the Vosges range reaching approximately 1,100 meters and located where three departments meet. The peak features well-marked hiking paths and offers wide views across the surrounding landscape.
Forest roads and hiking trails were developed in the 1930s to manage growing visitor numbers and improve access to the area. These infrastructure improvements opened the mountain to a wider public.
The statue of the Virgin stands on the summit as a religious monument built after World War II and reflects the spiritual importance of this location to local communities. Visitors often pause here to take in both the views and the quiet reverence the place inspires.
Established trails lead to the summit and remain passable even in wet conditions, though sturdy footwear is recommended. A mountain restaurant nearby provides a place to rest and have refreshments.
An old boundary path marked by concrete posts runs across the summit, tracing the historic departmental borders on the ground. Walking the route past the former Gentian Refuge becomes a journey through the region's geographical divisions.
