The Route des Crêtes is a road in the Vosges that connects all the heights of the Vosges massif in a north-south direction. The road lies between the Col du Bonhomme in the north and Cernay in the south.
The road was built in 1914 by the French army on the western side of a ridge in the Vosges that forms the border between Alsace and Lorraine. During the period 1871-1918, this was also the border between France and Germany. The road was used for the supply of French troops during World War I.
