Trehkopf

Trehkopf is a mountain summit in the Vosges region standing at about 1,266 meters with multiple trails winding through thick forest vegetation. A radio station operates at the summit, and a nearby mountain refuge offers dormitory beds and kitchen facilities for visitors.

The summit held strategic importance during territorial disputes between France and Germany, serving as a natural vantage point in the Vosges region. Its elevation and position made it valuable for monitoring the surrounding area.

The summit attracts radio enthusiasts who regularly gather to communicate across borders and participate in amateur radio networks. This ongoing activity has created a small but dedicated community of visitors who meet here throughout the year.

The summit can be reached on foot or by paraglider, with hikers able to use several marked trails through the forest. Bring sturdy footwear and weatherproof clothing, as conditions at the top can change quickly.

The site serves as a launch point for paragliders seeking a descent of roughly 870 meters with sweeping views across the surrounding valleys. Experienced fliers take advantage of the thermal currents and wind patterns unique to this location.
