Devin's pond
Etang du Devin, a peat bog discovered in 1442, is located near the Tête des Faux. The melting of a glacier in the past hollowed out the mountain, and the melting of the glacier created the remains of the Etang du Devin today.
A protected environment, the Etang du Devin's flora makes it an ideal place to rest, but it's also a mysterious and wild site, much to the delight of hikers and botanists.
From the centre of Lapoutroie, you can hike to this peat bog and take advantage of this soothing moment to have lunch in the peace and quiet of this place with the picnic table .

Our expert advice
I love natural places that can only be reached on foot or by bike. They remind us of the privilege of being there. It’s a peaceful respite, a moment suspended in time. That’s exactly how I feel every time I go to the Devin Pond. When I arrive, I always take a few moments to sit on the bench and admire this ecosystem. It’s fascinating to see how much it changes over the years. Every season, every light, every weather condition gives it a unique atmosphere. This place is so peaceful and captivating that I never get tired of it.
