October 21, 2025, Memorial (Cimetière national de Cernay)

The Cernay National Cemetery is a memorial dedicated to the soldiers who fell during the battles of Vieil-Armand and Steinbach in the summer of 1914. Created in 1920, it was designed to house the bodies exhumed from temporary military cemeteries in the region and was reorganized after World War II to include soldiers who died between 1940 and 1945. This cemetery contains 2,238 French bodies, as well as Czech, Russian, British, and Serbian combatants. Two ossuaries contain the remains of 938 combatants.

The gate was part of the city fortifications; the other two gates were demolished in the 19th century. Only the lower part of the Porte de Thann dates back to the 13th century; the superstructure with its battlements and battlements was added in the 16th century. After the destruction in the First World War, the city gate was restored, and only three of its four floors were rebuilt. A museum was established in the building (Wikipedia).

"The Musée de la Porte de Thann in Cernay is housed in a medieval city gate from the 13th century, a listed monument since 1920. In four atmospheric rooms you can discover the rich history of Cernay, from antiquity to the Second World War. The eye-catcher is the detailed model of the city in its medieval glory. A small but fascinating stop for those who love heritage and stories along the way."

The Col de Herrenfluh is located at an altitude of 837 metres in the Vosges, between Uffholtz and Wattwiller. The summit is located along the Route des Crêtes and offers magnificent views over the Rhine Valley and the surrounding forests. Nearby are the ruins of the Château du Herrenfluh, which was once an observation post during the First World War (but difficult to reach for a cyclist).

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.
