Dolleren

Dolleren takes its name from the Doller, a watercourse whose Celtic origin, *die oller*, means "the flowing water." This Alsatian village first appears in records in 1567 under the name Tholier. In the 18th century, its resource-rich subsoil was exploited: granite, iron, and copper were extracted, while a cotton weaving industry was established in 1847, marking the start of local industrial activity. On August 6, 1914, Dolleren became French again after centuries of political changes and later served as a rest area for troops behind the front during World War I.

The Doller spring, located at Fennematt at 922 meters altitude, offers water of remarkable quality that supplies the Mulhouse urban area. A hike allows visitors to reach this site from the village, providing a preserved natural setting. Nearby, the Schlumpf ski slope, several kilometers long and peaking at 1017 meters, attracts winter sports enthusiasts.

Among Dolleren’s tourist attractions are the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, the Doller spring, and the Schlumpf ski slope.
