Arboretum du Haut-Jacques — a woodland collection at the pass

At the top of the pass, the botanical trail turns a roadside stop into a close look at the woodland. Follow it slowly enough to compare needles, bark and the shade beneath different trees.

Aus der Quelle

The Arboretum du Haut-Jacques occupies a pass in the Vosges between Bruyères and Saint-Dié. Its collection began with a postwar planting of Nordmann firs. A marked botanical path now passes through conifer and broadleaf collections.

Redaktionelle Einordnung

The Vosges tourism office traces the collection back to Nordmann firs planted after the Second World War. American conifers and a broadleaf collection followed. Look at how foliage changes along the route, from the dense branches of the conifers to the more open shapes of deciduous trees.

Empfehlung

Use the local tourist office’s map for the Col du Haut-Jacques trail entrance. The site is listed as free and self-guided, with marked paths. Check local conditions and bring shoes suited to woodland ground.
