Hi Larry,
'Vogesen' is the German translation for 'Vosges' in French.
Wikipedia (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vosges_Mountains) gives the following information :
quote
The
Vosges is a
mountain range in eastern
France, stretching along the west side of the
Rhine valley in a NNE direction, from
Belfort to
Saverne.
Geographically, the Vosges mountains are completely located in
France with the
Col de Saverne separating it from the
Palatinate Forest.
Geologically, though, some parts of the Palatinate Forest are considered to belong to the same entity.
