Le Lauchenkopf, Granite summit in Vosges Mountains, France
The Lauchenkopf peak rises to 1,314 meters above sea level, featuring multiple hiking trails through dense forests and varied landscapes between Metzeral and Sondernach.
The summit belonged to Munster Abbey during the Carolingian period and appeared in Upper Rhine archives as Inlochen in 1496 and Lauchensluck in 1738.
The Club Vosgien organizes regular guided hikes and educational activities around the mountain, teaching visitors about local flora and regional geography.
Hikers can start their journey at Schnepfenried ski station, following a 13.8-kilometer marked trail that includes elevation changes of 391 meters.
The Grande Fecht river originates on the western slope of the Lauch massif, contributing to the water system of the Munster Valley.
