Felsachkopf, Mountain summit in the Vosges, Haut-Rhin, France.
Felsachkopf is a grassy summit in the Vosges, reaching 1107 metres in the commune of Fellering, Haut-Rhin. A low earthen or stone line crosses its rounded ridge, and a single dark conifer stands near the western edge. The Haut de Felsach rises to its northwest at 1161 metres.
The summit served as a passage for French soldiers moving toward the free zone during World War II. The location was thus a key point along the region's escape routes during the occupation.
The meadow covering the summit shows the grazing traditions that have shaped the Vosges landscape for generations and remain part of its character today.
The peak is accessible through marked trails starting from the Oderen pass and leading to the summit. Routes are well marked, and conditions vary with the season and weather.
The summit's secondary grassland, or chaume, results from pastoral activity, and a farm inn serves marcair meals from mid-April to mid-November. The photograph shows pale scattered shapes just below the ridge line, with a single dark conifer near the left edge.
