Discover the remains of the fierce fighting from 1915 to 1918: trenches, concrete shelters, railways, cable cars...

The war of 1914-1918 left deep traces in the Vosges. The association Guerre-en-Vosges proposes to discover the battlefield of the Chapelotte, long forgotten and the museum that is largely dedicated to it, the Interpretation and Documentation Centre 1914-1918.
The battlefield keeps deep traces. After the Germans took the height called 542 which dominates the pass, French and Germans buried themselves there face to face for four years, about fifteen meters from each other. Multiple bombings have wiped out the forest and a 30-month underground war has fractured the rock up to more than 70 metres below the surface and opened multiple funnels.
The visit of the site will allow you to discover the trenches and shelters of the two armies, the traces of the war of mines and German logistics.
This activity is reserved for walkers: good physical condition imperative, provide good walking shoes and a flashlight!
The visit lasts between 2.30 and 3 hours.
