The castle was built from 1224, with various extensions until the 16th century. Its initial purpose, in addition to being the residence of the Count of Ferrette, was to monitor the toll which regulated passage into the Thur valley. Its name means the “town of the angel” in homage to Saint Michael, chief of the angels and champion of Good, and it stands at the top of the Schlossberg, the “castle mount. » In 1673, Louis The king called on miners from Giromagny to demolish the castle with explosives. When the dungeon collapses, part of it remains stuck on the side, giving the ruins their current shape. The locals nickname the remains of the castle “The Witch’s Eye” because this dungeon evokes an eye watching over the city, but also in connection with the tumultuous past involving the city in witch hunting. Family walk through the old town offering upon arrival a beautiful view of the town and the surrounding hills.

The 957 meter high Hartmannswillerkopf (French Vieil Armand, originally German Hartmannsweiler Kopf) is a hilltop in the Southern Vosges in the Haut-Rhin department in Alsace, near the towns of Hartmannsweiler and Berrweiler. The Hartmannswillerkopf was fiercely contested between the Germans and the French during the First World War because of its exposed and strategically favorable location with a view of the Alsatian and Upper Rhine plains. The struggle for the summit began on December 31, 1914. The heaviest fighting took place on December 19-20. January, March 26, 25./26. April and 21./22. December 1915. During the four years of the war, the hilltop changed hands four times. From about mid-1916 both sides reduced their troops there; more intense fighting took place in more northern sectors of the front. From 1916 there were essentially only artillery duels. Both sides were content to hold their lines. 30,000 French and German soldiers died in the skirmishes at Hartmannswillerkopf; about twice as many were injured. They did not lead to a result for either side and today they stand for the futility of the war. The Hartmannswillerkopf has occasionally been called the "mountain of death". On August 3, 2014, the 100th anniversary of Germany's declaration of war on France (World War I), Federal President Joachim Gauck and French President François Hollande met at Hartmannswillerkopf. On November 10, 2017, Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and President Emmanuel Macron inaugurated a joint Franco-German museum to commemorate the fighting.

Built from 1979 to 1982, the dam regulates the water table and ensures the supply of drinking water to the Mulhouse conurbation and its surroundings. It is a protected place, classified as an approved voluntary nature reserve. The Mulhouse water service and the joint syndicate of the Michelbach dam ensure the management and operation of the infrastructures. A 4km pedestrian circuit (about 1h30 walk) allows, thanks to educational panels, to discover and observe many species of birds that nest there or are passing through (cormorant, osprey, crow, etc.). On the horizon stand out the peaks of the Vosges such as the Rossberg, the Thannerhubel, the Markstein or the Grand Ballon. Guided tours are organized in summer by the Tourist Office of Thann-Cernay.

Hartmannsweilerkopf in Alsace Known only to those familiar with the area and a few walkers before 1914, the Hartmannswillerkopf gained notoriety in both France and Germany as a result of the terrible fighting in 1915. In the course of the attacks and counter-attacks, the summit of the Hartmannswillerkopf was alternately under German and French rule. More than 7,000 German and French soldiers lost their lives in the trenches on this hilltop. The area is like a single graveyard. The fighting on the mountain in the Vosges was extremely hard. The strategically important position of the 956 meter high hilltop was hotly contested between December 1914 and January 1916. There was never a victor in the battle - A place to explore the full absurdity of World War I. A national memorial was also erected at Hartmannswillerkopf to commemorate the fallen soldiers, one of the four French national memorials of the First World War. The intentionally original work of the architect Robert Danis and the sculptor Antoine Bourdelle was inaugurated in 1932 by the then French President Albert Lebrun. The monument consists of two elements: an altar of the Fatherland dominating the esplanade and the military cemetery with 1,256 graves of French soldiers and 6 ossuaries, and a beautiful crypt - like an underground cathedral - into which visitors can enter through an 80-meter-long honorary trench reached.
