Tips from the Community
Even in pre-Christian times, it was customary in various cultures to ask pagan deities for assistance before a battle, as well as to thank them for (presumed) divine assistance after a victory. In a modified form, this cult also appears in medieval Christianity, where military successes were attributed not only to the soldiers' fighting skills or the strategy of their leaders, but also to thank the Mother of God for the heavenly assistance—which had previously been requested.

For several years now, the reintroduction of storks on the territory of the municipality of Soultz-Haut-Rhin has been a fact: the chimneys are now populated by these birds again. You can watch them for hours.

The Château du Herrenfluh is a medieval ruin at an altitude of 858 metres. It was built in 1312 by Johan von Sankt Amarin, nicknamed Nordwind, and served as a lookout post for the princes-abbatons of Murbach. Due to its strategic location, the castle offered a panoramic view over Alsace, all the way to the foothills of the Jura. In 1376, it was captured by English mercenaries and later, in 1468, destroyed by the Swiss. During the First World War, the site was again used as a French observation post. Today, some ruins are still visible, and volunteers are working to preserve the remains. It is an interesting historical site along the Route des Crêtes.

Vieil Armand, also known as Hartmannswillerkopf, is a striking mountain peak in the southern Vosges, near the Col Amic. This place is not only popular with cyclists because of the challenging climb and the panoramic view of the Rhine plain, but also an important historical monument. During the First World War, fierce fighting took place here between French and German troops, resulting in a static trench warfare. Today, the area is a national memorial with a crypt, military cemetery and well-preserved trenches. The climb to Vieil Armand via the Col Amic is not only sportingly rewarding, but also impressive because of the historical significance of the landscape.

Be sure to watch it! Something like this must never happen again. For me, it's a place of great sadness 😢

Visitors enter the crypt via an 80-meter-long corridor reminiscent of a trench. In the middle is the ossuary. It contains the bones of 12,000 unknown soldiers and is covered with a bronze shield six meters in diameter. The shield bears the inscription "Patrie" (Fatherland) in gold letters.
