This region is defined by complex landscapes of sandstone, hot springs and many water passages that shape the park into an unparalleled oddity. The park maintains a superior maze of over 1,650 km of hiking paths; additionally, over 900 km are dedicated to cycling, mountain biking and horseback riding. Northern Vosges is also home to many of the finest glass and crystal makers in the world. Eco-friendly re-designed buildings are an on-going theme in the park. Many older structures are being rebuilt to meet eco-friendly standards. Winner of the 2009 Award "Tourism and protected areas" as a European Destination of Excellence (EDEN).
