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.

Situé dans le massif des Vosges, le Vieil Armand (Hartsmannswillerkopf) permet une randonnée intéressante en plein air dans les anciennes tranchées allemandes et françaises (1915). Les tranchées sont très bien conservées, des restes de la guerre comme des barbelés parsèment le chemin. Site impressionnant.

Ce monument est l'un des quatre monuments nationaux de la Première Guerre Mondiale. Situé sur la Route des Crêtes, il est un haut lieu de mémoire pour les soldats français et allemands tombés lors de la guerre 14-18. Le Mémorial a été construit entre 1924 et 1929 et fait l'objet d'un culte particulier. Malgré les nombreuses visites de personnes de toutes nationalités, il y règne une sorte de recueillement et laisse une impression de gravité.
