Is it winter? It's cold and it doesn't necessarily make you want to leave the house. However, the Vosges in white is sometimes surprising! Put on your winter boots and your hat to go rediscover our beautiful region dressed in its winter attire thanks to these few ideas for walks in the snow.
A journey into the past at the Donon temple
Near the border with Lorraine stands this ancient Celtic sanctuary: the Temple of Donon. On the path that leads us there, numerous remains from the Gallo-Roman period and the First World War are laid out.
In winter, set off to conquer this temple located in the commune of Grandfontaine, in the Bruche Valley. Equip yourself with very warm clothing, because up there you will be completely exposed. The temple peaks at an altitude of 1,009 meters and is not at all protected from the wind. The panorama is therefore fantastic.
