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.

Erg bijzonder. Je wordt er stil van. Veel te zien. Mooi monument. Looproute is erg mooi. Je loopt echt door de loopgraven.

Ein äusserst eindrücklicher und sogleich nachdenklicher Ort. Dank dem hervorragenden Tourführer Giles haben wir enorm viele Informationen erhalten und können ihm sowie die ganze Örtlichkeit äusserst empfehlen. Nochmals ein herzliches Dankeschön an Giles.

Ce lieu m'a donné un grand respect à tous ces hommes tombés pour sauver leur Patrie

C’est un lieu génial autant pour les passionnés d’histoire et de la grande guerre que pour les familles voulant juste faire une balade et un pique nique !

En arrivant au point de vu on domine la pleine d’Alsace !

Les explications avec les panneaux sur le sentier nous retracent la réalité du combat en tranchées !

La Nécropole est également impressionnante !

Pour les motards, la route est également superbe pour y arriver !
