The white lake - Hans Rock
23/05/2021
A walk on the heights of the white lake (Lac Blanc) located in Orbey, in the Haut-Rhin.Greenery, nature, height, a bit of water, and it's the perfect mix for a Sunday walk. It was obvious that I had to pass by this place and go photograph it without hesitation. I'll take you there. The starting point is very easy to find: it is directly on the car park. It is possible to walk a small part of the way around the lake, but the escapade quickly leads to a dead end. Let's get some height instead.
Roots, roots and more roots. No doubt about it, we are in the forest. Let's continue our ascent. A confirmed level was advised to do this walk and... I can only confirm it, the paths are steep, slippery.
Half an hour later and a few more meters up, the first reward arrives. At the bend in the path, we can enjoy a very nice view of the lake.
Time to breathe, drink a little, and we start walking again. We are now at the foot of this staircase which seems to lead directly to heaven.
A word of advice: if you are afraid of heights, don't go. Similarly, if the weather is not good, turn back, as mud and rocks rarely go together...
A little more walking...
And finally the reward after 2 hours of walking through the rocks. Here is the highest point:
The view is breathtaking, and the reward is worthy of our efforts. Due to lack of time (the joys of curfew), we could not do the full loop. So we turned back, threading our way through rocks and roots. And then... it's only a goodbye after all!
