Rossberg

Rossberg is a mountain in the southern Vosges that rises to 1191 meters and features greywacke rock formations. From its summit, views extend across the Rhine Plain toward the Black Forest.

The mountain formed through ancient volcanic activity and stands as one of France's significant volcanic complexes. This geological past continues to define the character of the southern Vosges.

The mountain is part of a region long valued for its distinctive rock formations and geological story. Visitors can observe the layered stone and trace how the landscape took shape over time.

The mountain is accessible via several marked trails starting from nearby villages like Bourbach-le-Haut. Routes vary in difficulty and duration, allowing visitors to choose based on their fitness level and available time.

The mountain contains high-altitude meadows and distinctive forests that form their own ecosystem. This area sits within the Ballons des Vosges Natural Park and demonstrates the diversity of montane landscape.
