August 30, 2024,🚶🏼‍♀️🚶Cascade de Moliers, Tete de Raves, Roche de Sapin Sec , Feenfelsen

Today we headed towards the Fairy Rock and the Tete de Raves, which was occupied by the Germans at the beginning of the First World War and the "Col d'Hermanpaire" road pass at its feet was secured with extensive fortifications and bunkers.

The Germans were driven off the mountain in 1915 by an advance by the French army.
