Vosges Club

Its first chairman was Curt Mündel, known for his much-printed guide Die Vogesen – Reisehandbuch für Elsaß-Lothringen und angrenzende Gebirge.

In the period around 1890–1910 the Vosges Club erected viewing towers on the summits of the Scherhol, Grand Wintersberg, Wasenkoepfel, Brotschberg, Climont, Champ du Feu, Heidenkopf, Ungersberg and Faudé.

The aims of the club include the maintenance and waymarking of just over 20,000 kilometres (12,427 mi) of footpaths and trails.

In addition to promoting hiker tourism the Vosges Club is also dedicated to other outdoor activities like climbing and skiing, as well as nature conservation.

The club publishes walking guides and maps, as well as its own magazine, Les Vosges, which comes out 3 times a year.
