Erzenbach WaterfallPhoto: Christian Schott, Club Vosgien
The waterfall is especially impressive in winter and during snowmelt.
You will cross the water by a footbridge and a metal staircase.
This route can also be complemented by a visit to the St Nicolas mine and the mining trails. A free brochure is available at the Thann Cernay tourist office.
