- Short Description
- 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.
Visit the Hartmannswillerkopf Memorial
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.
This promontory which stands at 1000m in altitude looking out over the plain of Alsace, is in memory of the Great War. On the battlefield, 30,000 French and German men were crushed beneath a storm of steel. On both sides of the trenches, the men fought hard for this strategic observation post. In 1915 alone, the summit changed hands 4 times. The fighting continued throughout the War on this battlefield, torn asunder by shells, gas and flamethrowers. Classified as a historical monument, the site is home to one of the 4 national monuments dedicated to this tragic period.
Follow the Ridge Road on top of the Vosges Mountains with stunning views towards the Alsace valley, and the Black Forest, stop for a typical 'marcaire lunch' in one of the numerous farmhouses.
