The Schneeberg is a sandstone mountain in the northern Vosges in the Bas-Rhin (Lower Alsace) department near the border with the Moselle department in Lorraine (now in the Grand Est region ). With a height of 961 meters, it is one of the highest red sandstone mountains of northern Alsace and is in the immediate area only by Baerenberg exceeded (967 m).
location
The Schneeberg is located in the municipality of Wangenbourg-Engenthal south of the village of Engenthal and east of the Départementstraße D 224, which continues through the valley of Windsbourg (Windsburg) and in the Forêt d ' Abreschviller as a forest road towards the Donon . Départementsstraße 218 leads past the Schneeberg to Niederhaslach to the east.
tourism
There is an orientation board on the Schneeberg, from which one has a remarkable view of the surroundings of Saverne (German: Zabern) and northern Alsace. The mountain can be easily reached in two hours from Wangenbourg on the GR 53 long-distance hiking trail (Vogesenkammweg). From the Schneeberg several ridges go out like a spider, north to the Kohlberg, east to the Umwurf and southwest to the somewhat higher Baerenberg and further as a border ridge to the Moselle department via the Grossmann, where the massif meets that of the Rocher de Mutzig (Mutzigfels). The Lottelfels on the summit of the mountain is a rocking stone with which legendary traditions about the judgments of God in the Merovingian period are said to be connected.
