GR®59 From Vosges to Jura

From Ballon d'Alsace (Vosges) to Culoz (Ain)

GR®59 Des Vosges au Jura

The GR®59 is rooted in a millennia-old history. The Vosges region, with its mountains and valleys, has been inhabited since prehistoric times. The remains of forts and fortified castles bear witness to this. The trail passes through several protected natural areas, offering a diverse habitat for fauna and flora. The dense forests of the Vosges and Jura are home to many animal species, such as chamois, deer, wild boar, as well as a multitude of birds, including the black woodpecker and the Tengmalm's owl. Hikers may also spot rarer species, such as the wolf, which is gradually reclaiming its territory in these wild areas. The flora is equally varied, with landscapes of flowering meadows, undergrowth rich in medicinal and aromatic plants, and forests of coniferous and deciduous trees. Iconic species such as edelweiss, gentian, and rhododendron brighten the landscapes with their vivid colors.
