    Climbing to the top of Rocher de Dabo

    The Rocher de Dabo rises like a lighthouse in the heart of the Vosges forest. This mysterious pink sandstone rock with its distinctive silhouette is an ancient Celtic place of worship. Today, the Saint Léon chapel stands at its summit.

    At a height of 664 metres, the Dabo rock offers a panoramic view of the Lorraine plateau and the northern Vosges mountains. Numerous walking routes around Dabo criss-cross the forest and allow you to discover the sights in the surrounding area, such as the troglodytic houses, the rocher des corbeaux (crows' rock) and the table des géants (giants' table).

        The Sarrebourg region by bike, train or boat

        The history of the Sarrebourg region is closely linked to that of river navigation. The Marne-Rhine canal crosses the region from west to east. It has been converted into a greenway, and is part of the Eurovélo 5, which is very popular with cyclists. The Vallée des Éclusiers, now abandoned by boats, will delight sports enthusiasts looking for a bucolic stroll.

        Take the whole family on board a boat for a unique experience in the Sarrebourg region. On the Canal de la Marne au Rhin, the Saint Louis Arzviller inclined plane is unique in Europe! This impressive boat lift replaces the need to go through 17 locks!

        Another witness to the rich industrial past of the Sarrebourg region, head to Abreschviller for a very different journey! Climb aboard a steam train and discover the Sarre Rouge valley to the rhythm of the century-old locomotive. A picturesque ride in the heart of nature!
