Cascade de la Pissoire

Cascade de la Pissoire is a waterfall on the Blancfaing stream in the Vosges mountains, dropping about 5 meters as it flows down the wooded slope. The site includes wooden viewing platforms built to give visitors better access and safer sightlines to the cascading water.

The cascade formed naturally over time as the Blancfaing stream carved through the rocky terrain of the Vosges. This waterfall sits within a larger watershed system that eventually connects to the Rhine river.

Local residents named the stream and waterfall Pissoire, establishing several wooden bridges near the falls for enhanced viewing opportunities.

You can reach this waterfall by walking a forest trail that takes about 20 minutes from the nearby parking area near Haut du Tot village. The path is straightforward and leads directly through the woods to the water.

Instead of a dramatic vertical drop, the water slides smoothly over rounded rocks, creating a gentle flow that feels almost like a cascade in slow motion. This soft movement gives the site a quieter character than many steeper falls in the region.
