Tête des Faux, Mountain summit in Vosges, France.
Located at an elevation of 1,208 meters, Tête des Faux rises above the communes of Orbey and Lapoutroie in the Haut-Rhin department of France.
During World War I, German forces established an observation post on the summit in 1914, leading to intense military operations that continued through November.
Two memorial sites at Tête des Faux, including the Kahm German military cemetery and national necropolis at Carrefour Duchesne, received UNESCO World Heritage recognition.
Visitors access the summit through marked hiking trails from Le Bonhomme village, requiring approximately two hours to complete the 500-meter elevation gain.
The mountain contains granite formations and features the Etang du Devin, a peat bog formed by glacier melting during the Würm glaciation period.
