Visit the Hartmannswillerkopf Memorial
Commence your day by immersing yourself in the solemn remembrance of the Great War at the iconic Hartmannswillerkopf Memorial. Known as the "man-eater," this summit witnessed harrowing battles and serves as a somber tribute to the fallen soldiers.
Standing at an altitude of 1000m, it offers breathtaking views of the Alsace valley and the Black Forest. Reflect on the immense sacrifice made by 30,000 French and German soldiers who fought fiercely for this strategic observation post. Witness the remnants of the trenches and experience the battlefield that endured relentless artillery fire, gas attacks, and flamethrowers.
Classified as a historical monument, this site stands as one of the four national monuments dedicated to this tragic period. Capture the beauty of the Ridge Road, which winds along the Vosges Mountains, before savoring a delectable "macaire lunch" at one of the charming farmhouses.
Explore the Linge Memorial Museum
In the afternoon, your journey continues to the Linge Memorial Museum, commemorating the battles in the Vosges during the First World War. Located on the very grounds where the historical events unfolded, the museum vividly portrays the living conditions and combat experiences of the troops, shedding light on the logistical challenges they faced.
Step onto the battlefield, where well-preserved German defenses stand alongside the remains of French positions constructed from lighter materials. Gain a deeper understanding of the unimaginable difficulties faced by the attacking forces in 1915, resulting in a staggering death toll of 17,000 casualties within three months of intense fighting.
Conclude your tour with a return to Colmar, carrying the weight of history and a profound appreciation for the sacrifices made during the Great War.
