Le Hilsenfirst, Mountain summit in Haut-Rhin, France
The Hilsenfirst peak reaches an elevation of 1,274 meters above sea level within the Vosges mountain range of northeastern France.
During World War I, the mountain became a strategic battlefield where French and German forces engaged in intense combat throughout 1915.
The summit stands near the valleys of Munster and Guebwiller, representing the geological heritage of the Grand Est region's natural formations.
Multiple marked trails lead to the summit through dense forests, with weather conditions requiring proper hiking equipment during all seasons.
Military installations, underground tunnels, and trench remains from World War I are still visible across the mountain slopes.
