Roche Mère Henry

Fortress of the 1st World War on the Vosges front.
The rock head with viewing platform was massively expanded by German troops and was fiercely contested for years. Underground passages of both German and French troops ran on different levels through the hill and through the various blasts he was named "Pelé" - the scalped.

Today, the two rocks, which are accessible by a staircase and connected by a bridge, offer an interesting vantage point.

Two prominent rocks form a great viewing point here. They are connected by a bridge and can be reached via a staircase. On the first rock you will find a panoramic map on the brick parapet. There is a natural bench under this rock.
The German command post for this section of the front during the First World War is also located here. It was fortified with reinforced concrete in 1916.
