Sentier des Roches, Alpine hiking trail in Vosges Mountains, France
The Sentier des Roches extends over 11 kilometers through granite cliffs, narrow paths, and rock formations in the Haut-Rhin region.
The Munster branch of Club Vosgien established this mountain path in 1910, cutting sections directly through the rock to create the route.
The trail passes traditional dairy farms where Vosges cattle graze freely, maintaining centuries-old agricultural practices in the mountains.
The path requires approximately three and a half hours to complete, starting from Col de la Schlucht at 1139 meters elevation.
Metal cables line the most challenging sections, while a natural tunnel through rock formations leads to multiple mountain viewpoints.

Alsace displays its heritage through castles, museums, and gardens. The region features nature trails in the Vosges, botanical collections, and medieval fortresses. Visitors find historic wine cellars, traditional village squares, and an astronomical observatory. The industrial past reflects in textile museums.
The Grand Est displays a rich architectural and military heritage, from fortified structures like the Fort of Mutzig and the La Ferté ouvrage on the Maginot Line, to princely residences such as Château de Lunéville with its French gardens. The region also preserves religious sites like the Abbey of Sturzelbronn in the Vosges forests and the Jesuit College in Reims, founded in the early 17th century. Urban centers feature notable architectural complexes: the Kammerzell House in Strasbourg exemplifies 15th-century Alsatian half-timbered construction, while the Ducal Square in Charleville-Mézières reflects Renaissance urban planning. The Humanist Library in Sélestat holds over 150 medieval manuscripts and ancient books. Technical sites like the old Chappe telegraph tower in Saverne recall early communication history before the electric era. Historic parks, including that of Château de Pange with geometric gardens and stone bridges, offer pathways through centuries of landscape design.
