CHAPELLE SAINT-LÉON - ROCHER DE DABO

Emerging from the forest, from the top of its 664 meters, the pink sandstone rock is a unique site. Celtic place of worship, the rock was topped in medieval times by a powerful castle, seat of the legendary county of Dabo. It was destroyed in 1690 on the orders of Louis XIV when the county became part of France. The present chapel of neo-Romanesque style is dedicated to Pope Leo IX, a child of the country. The Rocher de Dabo offers a grandiose view of the vast Vosges forest and the Lorraine plateau. The Rock is visible all year long but the access to the platform is regulated in winter period. Free visit from November to March. The access to the Rock and the Chapel is paying from April to October. Guided tours for groups on reservation at the Tourist Office.
