WW1 Memorial Tour from Colmar (private)

A WWI historical insight in a long-disputed region

Immerse yourself in the remembrance of the Great War on the emblematic site of Hartmannswillerkopf. Known as the “man-eater”, this summit was the backdrop for dreadful battles.

Reach the Linge Memorial Museum
 
In the afternoon reach the Linge Memorial Museum, a memorial museum keeping alive the memory of the fighting in the Vosges during the First World War.

Located on the historical site itself, the museum describes the living and combat conditions of the troops and all of the associated logistics involved. Outdoors, on the battlefield, visitors can discover the positions of the German defences which are well preserved with their trenches, shelters and blockhaus, opposite the remains of the French positions, which were built from lighter materials. The close proximity of the frontlines and their respective positions provide a clearer understanding of the unimaginable difficulties faced by the attacking forces in 1915, and explains the heavy death toll in three months of fighting with 17,000 casualties recorded.
