Observation tower with a great view of the Vosges Mountains and the Swiss Jura.

The original church of the lower village parish was dedicated to the Virgin Mary and then to Saint Anthony the Hermit, but in 1842, Father Acker established Saint Geron as the main patron saint. In 1802, the two parishes of Pfetterhouse were united, and there was only one church. The current bell tower was built in 1900 by the architect Alexandre Louvat from Mulhouse. The old furnishings were gradually replaced. This church is the only one in Alsace to have Saint Geron as its patron saint.

Pfetterhouse is located in the southernmost part of Alsace, near the Swiss border, and marks the symbolic starting point of the Western Front in World War I. During the Battle of Alsace in August 1914, French troops took the village. From that moment on, Pfetterhouse became the official Kilometre 0 point of the front line, which then stretched for almost 750 km to the North Sea. In the village centre, you will find the Église Saint-Géréon, a neo-Gothic church from 1884 with a rare 16th-century Pietà and a striking tower. The old railway line, now a cycle path, is also a reminder of the past.

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.

A surprising piece of heritage in the heart of Pfetterhouse. This neo-Gothic church from 1884 is unique in Alsace: it is dedicated to Saint Gereon, a rare patron saint in this region. The church combines historical charm with a peaceful setting and houses an impressive 16th-century Pietà in polychrome wood.

A wonderfully flat and car-free cycle path on a former railway line in the south of Alsace. This route follows the route of the old Largtalbahn and winds through the peaceful Largue valley. Perfectly paved and surrounded by greenery, this is an ideal route for touring without traffic. Along the way you pass charming villages, small bridges and old railway relics.

The sculptures are beautifully crafted and transport you back to your childhood. You immediately start discussing fairy tales from the past.
