Sur le plateau du Fossard, \u00e0 783 m d’altitude, la Roche des Cuveaux doit son nom \u00e0 des cavit\u00e9s creus\u00e9es dans le gr\u00e8s \u2014 des cuvettes d’environ 70 cm de diam\u00e8tre dont l’origine reste d\u00e9battue : \u00e9rosion glaciaire ou, selon une hypoth\u00e8se alternative, cupules votives celtes des Leuques. Le myst\u00e8re reste entier, et c’est une bonne partie du charme.<\/p>\n
Depuis le parking du Fr\u00eane (en bout de route, pr\u00e8s du ch\u00e2teau d’eau \u2014 prenez bien le dernier palier, le GPS aide dans le village), le belv\u00e9d\u00e8re en bois de 9 m est \u00e0 seulement 470 m \u00e0 pied. Il est \u00e9quip\u00e9 d’une table d’orientation qui permet d’identifier d’un coup d’\u0153il la vall\u00e9e de la Moselle, le village d’\u00c9loyes en contrebas et la mont\u00e9e de la RN57 vers Plombi\u00e8res. Pour les personnes qui ne souhaitent pas faire la boucle compl\u00e8te, c’est d\u00e9j\u00e0 une belle destination en soi.<\/p>\n
La boucle enti\u00e8re fait 4,3 km pour 140 m de d\u00e9nivel\u00e9 (balisage anneau rouge, Club Vosgien), soit environ 2 h de marche qualifi\u00e9e de facile. L’essentiel de la mont\u00e9e se fait sur route goudronn\u00e9e en d\u00e9but de parcours \u2014 le reste est tr\u00e8s roulant.<\/p>\n
Un d\u00e9tail important si vous venez avec des enfants : le rocher lui-m\u00eame est perch\u00e9 \u00e0 environ 8 m et le site n’est pas s\u00e9curis\u00e9. Par temps humide, le gr\u00e8s devient glissant \u2014 vigilance autour des failles. Le site est en revanche ouvert aux chiens.<\/p>\n
L’endroit est peu fr\u00e9quent\u00e9, m\u00eame le week-end. L’automne, quand la for\u00eat du Fossard change de couleur, est signal\u00e9 comme la saison la plus belle pour s’y rendre. Gratuit, accessible toute l’ann\u00e9e.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":6420,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"class_list":["post-6419","decouverte-vosges","type-decouverte-vosges","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vosges-grandeur-nature.fr\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/decouverte-vosges\/6419","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vosges-grandeur-nature.fr\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/decouverte-vosges"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vosges-grandeur-nature.fr\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/decouverte-vosges"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vosges-grandeur-nature.fr\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6420"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vosges-grandeur-nature.fr\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
