말머스파치‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪18‬개의 산 정상

Vieil Armand, also known as Hartmannswillerkopf, is a striking mountain peak in the southern Vosges, near the Col Amic. This place is not only popular with cyclists because of the challenging climb and the panoramic view of the Rhine plain, but also an important historical monument. During the First World War, fierce fighting took place here between French and German troops, resulting in a static trench warfare. Today, the area is a national memorial with a crypt, military cemetery and well-preserved trenches. The climb to Vieil Armand via the Col Amic is not only sportingly rewarding, but also impressive because of the historical significance of the landscape.

Magnificent views of the valleys and the opposite mountain ranges of the Vosges and fantastic vistas across the Rhine plain to the Black Forest and, in good weather, even to the snow-capped peaks of the Alps!

Belongs on every bucket list. In good weather with extraordinary visibility.

The highest elevation on the Hartmannsweilerkopf, unfortunately also one of the most tragic places on this battlefield. Around the cross there are many trenches, fortresses and fortifications which can also be visited. These tell the sad story of this otherwise beautiful place.

Historical place in the Vosges that was hotly contested during the First World War

There are now quite a few stickers on the sign. Good parking in the immediate vicinity (1km) to the summit.

Beautiful pass crossing with wonderful views over the Rhine plain to the Black Forest and, if the weather is clear, to the Alps

Highest point of the Vosges massif, inevitably unavoidable. Nice roads but very busy.
