Hartmannswillerkopf

Le massif du Hartmannswillerkopf est un éperon rocheux pyramidal surplombant la plaine d’Alsace. Culminant à 956 mètres, cette position stratégique est l’enjeu de furieuses batailles qui s’échelonnent entre décembre 1914 et janvier 1916. Le champ de bataille porte les traces des combats qui ont causé la perte de 30 000 soldats français et allemands. Fortifié tout au long de la Grande Guerre, on peut aujourd’hui encore y voir de nombreux abris et des kilomètres de tranchées dans un état de conservation remarquable.

Such is the nature of the terrain in the Vosges that the battlefields of over 100 years ago remain remarkably intact. This important national monument is clearly visible from the Route des Cretes and now has a modern museum opened in 2016 by the President of France as well as a moving memorial and cemetery. The museum tells the story of the battles of 1914 -15 well, but the essential is to walk to the Vieil Armand itself. Although this is quite strenuous, the experience of exploring the trench complexes which remain almost unchanged is both uncanny and deeply moving. There are stunning views of Mulhouse from the top which bring home the proximity of the fighting to the daily lives of those living in Alsace, (and the contrast between the British and French experience on the Home Front in the Great War). Some care is needed on the site: strong walking shoes are essential; and, it is very easy to become disoriented in the trench systems so close attention is needed when exploring. This is a most important site, that is complimentary to others, such as Le Ligne also on the Route Des Cretes. It should be on every serious military historian's "to do" list, but is strongly recommended for general visitors as an unusual opportunity to see at first hand what warfare is really like.
