THE FALSE HEAD
Memorial sector of the Tête des Scythes
From above of the Tête des Faux dominated from its 1219 meters of villages Bonhomme, Lapoutroie and Orbey; it forms a strategic apex to cross the Vosges. From above, as the crow flies, it is 1 km from Le Bonhomme, 3 km from Lapoutroie and 4 km from Orbey. Built in a wooded area, the French and German cemeteries benefit from an exceptional landscape setting. The Tête des Faux also has the particularity of having a cemetery built by the French army during the war and two cemeteries that were created by the Bavarians in January 1916, because of the lack of space at the top of the Tête des Faux to place the dead. buried: from Eihexenweiherkirchoss cemeteries die Kahm, cemetery at the back, and the cemetery Rabenbühl, front line cemetery.

This was the second cemetery on my tour today. An oppressive feeling in the middle of the beautifully illuminated forest.
