The massive of the Grand Rosskopf is located in the department of the Moselle (57), between the two valleys of the Zorn at the West and the Mossig at the East. The maximal altitude is reaching 811 meters, near the small panoramic rock of the Rosskopf. The Grand Rosskopf is exactly located between two forestian collars, the Schleif at the North and the Wetzlach at the South. He's a child of the big public forest of Dabo. On the eastern slopes which are the steepest, you will find an old icy peat bog : the Grafenweiher (563 m). The most remarkable panorama and the better known too, is the one that you can have from the rock of the Backofenfels (740 m), with a magnificient face-to-face, on the legendar rock of Dabo (664 m). Another rocky formation which is very picturesque is waiting of your visit, she seems to be like a rocky man : it's the Steinerne Maennel (770 m). At the South-West of the Grand Rosskopf, finally, the hiker has the possibility to discover a very wild and isolated crest, named as Spitzberg (759 m) : from here over, the panorama in the forest of Dabo will simply be, unforgettable !
