MASSIF DES VOSGES

The Saut de la Bourrique is a waterfall in the Vosges mountains located in the commune of Gérardmer. The legend linked to the name of this waterfall would come from a "bourrique" which belonged to a lord. Returning from crusades, this one was attacked by bandits, to protect him, the animal threw itself on them at the foot of the waterfall where it perished with the miscreants.
