Facts and practical information

Nestled in the heart of the Southern Vosges in France, Lac d'Alfeld is a serene mountain lake that offers a picturesque escape for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Surrounded by lush forests and rugged terrain, this tranquil body of water is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered by those seeking a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The lake's clear waters reflect the surrounding greenery and the sky above, making it a perfect spot for photography and relaxation.

Visitors to Lac d'Alfeld can enjoy a range of activities, including hiking along the well-marked trails that encircle the lake, fishing for local species, or simply picnicking by the water's edge. The lake is also an ideal starting point for more challenging treks into the higher altitudes of the Vosges Mountains, where panoramic views and natural beauty abound.
