Le Jungfrauenkopf, Mountain summit at Markstein, France.
The Jungfrauenkopf reaches 1268 meters in elevation and features slopes covered with alpine meadows characteristic of the Vosges Mountains.
The peak's name reflects the Germanic influence in the region, dating from periods when Alsace was under German administration.
The name Jungfrauenkopf, meaning virgin's head in German, demonstrates the traditional naming patterns of peaks in the French-German border regions.
Hikers can reach the summit via the Route des Crêtes, connecting multiple points of interest across the Vosges Mountains over 70 kilometers.
The summit experiences specific weather conditions where clouds frequently form at mid-height, creating a sea of clouds phenomenon.
