Haut des Yraux, Mountain summit in Wisembach, France.

The Haut des Yraux reaches an elevation of 985 meters within the Vosges mountain range, forming a natural elevation point in northeastern France.

During World War I, the summit became a strategic military position where French and German forces engaged in battles throughout 1914 and 1915.

The Col de Ste Marie National Cemetery near the summit contains graves of fallen soldiers and stands as a memorial to military operations in the region.

Multiple marked hiking trails lead to the summit, with maps available at the Wisembach information center showing routes of varying difficulty levels.

The mountain slopes contain preserved World War I trenches, concrete bunkers, and military installations that document the wartime activities in this location.
