Le Linge Memorial

Highlight • Historical Site

The Collet du Linge is a picturesque mountain pass in the Vosges that combines athletic challenge with historical significance. The climb, mainly known to cyclists and hikers, winds through a wooded landscape and offers impressive views of Alsace along the way. The pass is located near the historic battlefield of Le Linge, where fierce fighting took place in 1915 during the First World War. Today it is a place of peace and remembrance, with access to the Musée Mémorial du Linge and various hiking trails that make the past tangible in an impressive natural landscape.

Col de Wettstein National Necropolis, Orbey

Highlight • Other

The Cimetière Militaire Français du Wettstein, located on the Col du Wettstein near Orbey, is an impressive French military cemetery from the First World War. It contains the remains of 3,535 French soldiers, mainly chasseurs alpins, who died during the fierce fighting at Le Linge in 1915. Many of them are buried in two ossuaries. The site is marked by a monumental cross with the inscription "PAX" and a bronze statue of a dying soldier, which gives the whole a subdued and poignant atmosphere. This necropolis, also known as the "cemetery of the chasseurs", is a silent witness to the horrors of war and a place of reflection in the middle of the mountain landscape.

View of the Frankenthal-Missheimle Nature Reserve

Highlight • Viewpoint

Breathtaking but prefer to go there early in the morning or out of season, the Col de la Schlucht is a very busy axis.

Col de la Schlucht

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col de la Schlucht is one of the most famous passes in the Vosges Mountains and lies at an altitude of 1,139 meters above sea level. In winter, it's a popular winter sports center with ski lifts. In summer, it's a great destination for day trips and a starting point for hikes. There's a summer toboggan run right next to the pass, as well as a restaurant/brasserie with a terrace. Parking is plentiful, though it can get tight in winter.

Shortly before the Col de la Schlucht you cross an impressive rock landscape from Münster. Take a short break is worth it!
