In reply to Alan James - UKC:
Was my 'local crag' back in the early 90s - never saw any Brits there then & no one I mentioned it to had ever heard of the place - its well worth a short detour.
Not mentioned are the CAF refuge near by (les Trois Fours), the pleasant walking or any of the other crags & bouldering areas. Anyone wanting a 'mountain' day might find the Spitzkoft (not sure of spelling) fun - its a long rocky arete starting in the forest not far from Martinswand & rising up to the crest of the Vosges, mostly easy but the odd move of III & some might want to rope up. Would probably make a good mixed route in winter.
The snowy gullies in the same corrie as the crag are about Scots I and are often skied, there is more serious winter climbing at Lac Blanc a few km away.
And the local cusine has a few specialites as well, such as Munster cheese, the local wines or dishes (try Beckeoffe) & cakes such as Kugelhopf
