Guided tour: Hartmannswillerkopf national monument and necropolis

On the heights of the Vosges mountains, the Hartmannswillerkopf necropolis and national monument are a place of remembrance dedicated to the soldiers who fell in the fierce fighting of the First World War. This solemn site brings together the graves of 1,256 French soldiers and honors the thousands of others, both French and German, who lie in the battlefield's ossuaries.

A guided tour allows groups to appreciate the magnitude of this historic and symbolic site. The Monument National, inaugurated in 1932, with its imposing granite cross, embodies the tribute paid to these servicemen. The alleys of the necropolis invite reflection, offering a silent setting where memory and respect mingle. Accompanied by a passionate guide, participants relive the key events that transformed the Hartmannswillerkopf into one of the symbols of the Great War in the Vosges.

This visit is a moment of history and emotion, ideal for groups wishing to understand the sacrifice and courage of past generations in a striking natural setting.
