The Cave Trail

Sports hiking
Embed this item to access it offline
This very pretty route runs along forest paths that will take you from springs to caves, passing by some Gallo-Roman remains.
This short but sporty circuit, because of its difference in altitude, is punctuated with curiosities (springs, caves...).

Description

This circuit is part of the paths of excellence of the Pays de Bitche (n°4). It is marked with a red disc all along the route, completed with the green "Sentiers d'excellence" badge. Starting from the Vosges clubhouse, the course leads quickly to the cascade of the ondines. Follow the direction of Louisloch and reach the American stele. This stele commemorates the battles of 1944 and 1945. Join the Krippenfelsen, Chorfelsen and Hasslingerfelsen caves. Cross the river and walk along the beautiful rocks. Arrival at the Bildmuehle (Gallo-Roman sculpture) and continue to the Helloch fountain (former village wash-house). Turn right into rue du moulin and then right again into rue de la montagne. Back to the starting point, turn right into the rue du mont des baies.
  • Departure : Parking of the chalet of the Vosges club (rue du mont des baies) in Lemberg
  • Arrival : Parking of the chalet of the Vosges club (rue du mont des baies) in Lemberg

Sensitive areas

Along your trek, you will go through sensitive areas related to the presence of a specific species or environment. In these areas, an appropriate behaviour allows to contribute to their preservation. For detailed information, specific forms are accessible for each area.

A quiet zone is not a legally mandated area; rather, it refers to areas considered conducive to the activities of sensitive species that have a critical need for quiet (feeding, migration, reproduction, giving birth, raising young, hibernation, and seeking mates).


Adopt the 5 “Quiétude Attitude” best practices and help preserve the peace and quiet of wildlife!

No. 1 I familiarize myself with quiet zones and the regulations
No. 2 I stay on marked trails
No. 3 I respect the silence of nature
No. 4 I keep my pet on a leash
No. 5 I prioritize daytime activities

The “Quiétude Attitude” program raises public awareness about the best practices to follow in natural environments to preserve the tranquility of animal species.
