Memorial (Cernay National Cemetery)

Highlight • Other

The Cimetière national de Cernay is a serene French military cemetery dating from 1920, where more than 2,700 soldiers who fell during the bloody battles around Vieil-Armand and Steinbach in 1914 rest. Until 1936, the site became a memorial site for the fallen from temporary frontline cemeteries in Alsace, and in 1932 it also received the bodies of Czech soldiers from other regions. A silent witness to the First World War, in the middle of the green landscape of the Vosges.

View from Château du Herrenfluh

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.
