THE GEODESIC CHIMNEY OF THE SPIÉMONT
Description
Panorama on the blue line of the Vosges, on the valley of the Vologne, the Neuné and the Barba.
Nearby, an orientation table, the work of Mrs. Landormy, a local painter, allows you to situate yourself in the superb landscape.
The Spiemont Mountain had a druidic altar. In 1824, the geographers of the map of France had raised a pyramid which is now demolished.
Since 1906, there is a geodesic stone signal of nine meters high at the top of the mountain. This geodesic chimney was used to shelter from the wind the plumb line necessary to make bearings and take measurements of angles necessary for the realization of the maps at the beginning of the XXth century.
