You will discover
➤ Champ du Feu (Hochfeld in German) is a 1,099 m high mountain located in Alsace in the Vosges, in the Bas-Rhin department. It is located about 10 km southeast of Schirmeck. The summit is also a pass.
➤ Champ du Feu is the highest point in the central Vosges and in the department. The summit plateau is marked by vast expanses of moorland and peat bogs, whose vegetation has subalpine characteristics (including mountain pines).
➤ The 20 m high observation tower was built in 1898 by the Club Vosgien, but access to it is prohibited because it is in an advanced state of disrepair. The tower is currently being renovated and should be accessible again in 2022-23.
