Publisher Note: More than 120 years ago, the Vogesenclub (today Club Vosgien) has set up a hiking trail to cross the Vosges, this preserved average mountain located east of France. The GR 53 or GR 5 described today leads by picturesque trails through the Alsatian Vosges of Wissembourg to Masevaux or Giromagny near Belfort. The Rother "Great Crossing Vosges" Hiking guide presents this great hiking path in 36 stages, with some variations, crossing the Vosges of the North, the average Vosges and the Hautes Vosges, almost unincorus. Easy steps crossing large forests and sleeping villages alternate with sports mountain itineraries, difficulties comparable to those of the Alps through wild and preserved landscapes to more than 1000 meters. The hiking itinerary of 400 kilometers long does not follow the most direct path, but always the most beautiful. It goes through places loaded with history and medieval strong castles, as well as many places evoking a painful chapter of the German history German. In the Vosges, the hiker finds an ideal infrastructure: campaign hostels, gites, peasant or mountain inns where it can spend comfortable nights and savor the excellent Alsatian cuisine.
