This 7.5 km loop takes you through the wooded border area around Pfetterhouse, where the borders of France, Germany and Switzerland met from 1871 to 1914. During the First World War, the Western Front began here at border post 111, the official Kilometre Zero. Along the path you will discover restored bunkers, observation posts and boundary stones of the French, German and Swiss lines. A unique journey through a landscape where neutrality, conflict and memory come together.
