Hartmannswillerkopf, Military memorial summit in Vosges Mountains, France
The pyramidal rocky peak rises 957 meters above sea level, offering views across the Rhine Valley, Alsace Plain, and Black Forest mountains.
French and German forces engaged in intense battles for control of this strategic position between 1914 and 1916, resulting in 30,000 military casualties.
The national monument includes a cemetery with 1,264 identified graves, six ossuaries, and religious memorials representing Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish faiths.
Visitors can explore forty-five kilometers of preserved trenches and fortifications through marked paths that connect different sections of the battlefield.
The cultural crypt, accessed through an 80-meter trench, contains bronze plaques commemorating 101 military units and holds remains of 12,000 unidentified soldiers.
