The Mennonites, a branch of the Anabaptists, lived apart from the local population on the high plateaus, including in the hamlets of Salm, Les Quelles and Fréconrupt from the 18th century. They were known for their austere lifestyle but also for their talent for farming and raising livestock. During a future hike, you can explore the Mennonite heritage trail (available from the Tourist Office).
