Route: Hohneck via Frankenthal (Col de la Schlucht loop)

A Vosges classic from the Col de la Schlucht to the Hohneck (1,363 m), one of the most beautiful summits of the Vosges and the third-highest after the Grand Ballon and the Storkenkopf. The route climbs through beech forest past the Martinswand cliffs to the summit plateau, with views over the Hautes-Vosges and on clear days to the Black Forest and the Alps. It then drops past the Lac de Schiessrothried into the Frankenthal, a classic Vosges valley, and returns along the Krappenfels cliffs to the pass.
