Tête des Cuveaux

Tête des Cuveaux is a mountain peak in the Vosges range featuring natural sandstone basins carved into the rock at its summit. These formations create an unusual landscape and give the summit its distinctive character.

The summit held significance for Celtic peoples in ancient times before Roman expansion into the region. This early presence reflects the site's importance in prehistoric affairs.

The rock basins at the summit were potentially used for purification rituals connected to the worship of the solar deity Belenus.

The hiking route to the summit requires moderate physical effort and takes several hours of walking time. Sturdy footwear is recommended and checking conditions beforehand helps ensure a safe visit.

A viewing platform with an orientation table sits at the summit offering views toward the Moselle Valley. This structure helps visitors identify surrounding landscapes and their geographical features.
