Lagerwald Hütte (Le Gresson)

The place

Log-cabin-style hut (stacked timber) at 960 m in the Doller valley (Hautes-Vosges, Haut-Rhin), before reaching the hamlet of Le Gresson. One of 10 log cabins built in the 2000s in the valley. Large structure of massive logs, a stately entrance with a small balcony acting as an airlock, a large stove for winter heating and cooking, two sturdy tables in the corners with benches, outdoor barbecue. Access from the Oberbruck station car park via the blue-cross-marked trail, then the path to the left before the barrier (1 km), then the path to the right and a steep trail for 200 m. Water available at the nearby Ferme-Auberge du Gresson (30 min round trip maximum). Freely accessible year-round, on foot only.
