It is less well known that there was heavy fighting in the Vosges during the First World War. A visit to the front line 1914-1918, gives it immediate impact. This region breathes an atmosphere as if the positions were abandoned only yesterday. Bunkers, tunnels and trenches can still be found here in great variety. Also in the woods, you can still discover numerous barbed wire fences, bunkers and remains of defence works.
A visit to this open-air museum with its countless remnants gives meaning to the symbolism of the war zone along the "Lignes blue des Voges".
A unique war zone in the mountains between the Col de la Chapelotte, La Tête des Faux, Le Ligne, Le Hartmannswillekopf and Le Kilomètre Zèro.
