Description

Four trails allow you to discover the remnants of the Great War and retrace the particularities of the Vosges Front. Between the Col des Bagenelles and the Chaume de Lusse, the fortified German sector of the Vosges Front features concrete and stone sentries overwhelmed by the destructive fire of opposing artillery, a network of fortified shelters, observation posts such as the "Alderhorst" and firing platforms for "Minenwerfer", the efficient German trench artillery.
The World War 1 Interpretation Trail has a comprehensive guidebook which is free of charge and distributed at the Val d'Argent Tourist Office. The booklet is available in German and English.
