Cascade de Mérelle, Natural waterfall in the Vosges Mountains at Gérardmer, France.
The Mérelle stream creates a three-meter waterfall over a porphyry slab before flowing into Lake Gérardmer at an altitude of 800 meters.
This natural formation has been part of the Rhine river basin system, shaping the local landscape through centuries of continuous water flow.
Local residents maintain hiking trails leading to the cascade, preserving access to this natural site for future generations.
Access the waterfall by following the marked blue trail from Ramberchamp stadium, descending through the forest for approximately fifteen minutes.
The water stream splits into two parallel flows as it descends the rocky surface, creating a distinct pattern in the Vosges mountain landscape.
