GR®5F Moselle Valley

From Apach (Moselle) to Bussang (Vosges)

The GR®5F long-distance hiking trail follows the Moselle River throughout its French course, from the border at Apach to its source at Bussang in the Vosges Mountains. The landscape is marked by a dramatic transition, moving from the wide agricultural plains of northern Lorraine to the mountain passes and dense forests of the Vosges massif. This route is rich in history and heritage, passing through sites that bear witness to the former iron and steel industry and textile traditions of the south, not to mention the medieval castles dotting the river. The flora encountered ranges from the wet meadows of the north to the vast expanses of fir and beech forests of the mountains, while the fauna varies from river birds to the large forest mammals of the Vosges. The trail thus offers a comprehensive understanding of this territory, linking the Rhine identity with mountain culture.
