A rocky spur transformed into a memorial museum of the battlefield and fighting on the Alsace plain at Wattwiller.

The HWK is a rocky spur overlooking the Alsace plain. This strategic position was a key battleground in the First World War, with almost 30,000 casualties. Today, a place of remembrance, the battlefield is an open-air museum. The national monument was erected in memory of the fighting: the Altar of the Fatherland dominates the necropolis, and the crypt is a place of meditation. The Franco-German historial is a permanent page in the history of the war.

Ich habe schon viele Frontabschnitte des ersten Weltkrieges gesehen. Aber dieser Ort war dennoch etwas spezielles. Man hat ein sehr schönes Denkmal. Der Friedhof, der etwas im Hang liegt ist auch besonders. Dann gibt es noch einen kleinen Wanderweg der auch zum Memorial gehört. Dort findet man Bunker und Schützengräben. Ab dort fängt es an wirklich surreal zur werden. Man hat eine wunderschöne Aussicht auf den grand ballon (Berg). Man bestaunt die Natur und kurz später, realisiert man was hier vor hundert Jahren passiert ist.

Site impressionnant, il faut faire le circuit des tranchées, c'est une grande leçon d'histoire !
