Abbeys (Senones, Étival), pink-sandstone churches and mountain chapels dot the massif, witnesses to a rich monastic past.
Easy
The massif preserves a rich religious heritage, from Benedictine abbeys (Senones, Étival-Clairefontaine) to humble mountain chapels, and churches built of pink Vosges sandstone, the region’s emblematic stone. Munster even owes its name to the monastery that founded it. A peaceful heritage, often freely accessible.
