Vauquois is a historic monument, one of the most impressive to have kept intact the memory of the mine war.

This most impressive historical monument has kept intact the memory of the so-called mine war. 14,000 soldiers lost their lives in 519 explosions. Vauquois disappeared completely. The mound, a gigantic underground anthill disputed by both sides, was organized into 17 galleries and 184 barracks rooms on the German side, compared with 5 km and a few command posts on the French side. A lunar landscape... The site is being studied and restored by the voluntary "Association des Amis de Vauquois et de sa Région".

Ein Ort der gut beschreibt welche verrückten Anstrengungen Kriegsparteien unternehmen um sich gegenseitig zu vernichten. Schade dass die Welt nicht dazu lernt.

Moins connue que le champ de bataille de Verdun ou même que l'Argonne. Ce lieux n'en est pas moins l'un des plus impressionnant de toute la ligne de front de la 1ere guerre mondiale.les énormes entonnoirs laissé par les explosions des mines laissent imaginer l'horreur du lieu. La visite de la butte est libre et gratuite,elle peut être complétée par la visite des sous terrains sur réservation

Absolut fantastisch erhaltener Ort, vieles wurde belassen wie es ist/war.
Traurig und erstaunlich was Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts hier abging.
Ein toller Ort! Gerade in der heutigen Zeit sollten einige Entscheidungsträger einmal ein solches Mahnmal besuchen - vielleicht lernt man ja noch was.
