Discover Vecoux: hiking, spring and panorama

Vecoux can be considered for a stay through several clearly defined themes: a hike with specific details, the Source de Chaudefontaine, the Les Cucherons viewpoint and the history of the town. If you are looking for a hotel in Vecoux, you can first consider which of these interests will shape your trip. The trails help you plan an active time outdoors; the spring and viewpoint offer different scenic highlights, while the town’s history provides a historical perspective.

Hikes and trails

The Reherrey and Chaudefontaine hike is 8.7 km long, takes about three hours, has an elevation gain of 276 metres and is marked with a blue ring. The approximate time adds to the distance information, the elevation gain provides another route statistic, and the marking helps with navigation. Check the route details and markings again before setting off.

The Voie Verte des Hautes Vosges runs through Vecoux. Near Vecoux, it was built on a former SNCF railway line. This gives you a useful distinction for planning your routes: the hike is described by its distance, approximate duration, elevation gain and markings, while the Voie Verte is described by its route through the town and its former railway line.

Source de Chaudefontaine

A path leads uphill from the hamlet of Reherrey to the Source de Chaudefontaine. The Source de Chaudefontaine is a natural spring whose temperature remains constant at 21 °C throughout the year. A circular route to the spring goes as far as the La Charme peat bog landscape and then follows the Reherrey stream. The spring can be visited independently via marked trails. As trail conditions can vary seasonally, check the local situation before your visit. If you are considering swimming or other contact with the water, check the conditions on site beforehand. The temperature remains constant throughout the year; separately, be sure to take seasonal changes in trail conditions into account when planning.

Les Cucherons: views and orientation

Mount Les Cucherons lies two kilometres southeast of the village of Vecoux. The Les Cucherons viewpoint offers panoramic views of the Moselle and Moselotte valleys. There is an orientation board at the site; check its condition when you arrive. The location and the view serve as different points of reference: the distance shows where the mountain is in relation to the village, while the panorama identifies the two valleys visible from the viewpoint.

History and geographical location

Vecoux was formed in 1858 from the Ban de Longchamp and lies at the confluence of the Moselle and Moselotte rivers. The year places its formation in time; the river setting describes Vecoux’s location. Both add two different perspectives to the route information when choosing a destination.
