In his address on Remembrance Day in 2015, then-President Joachim Gauck expressed some thoughts that I would like to offer visitors to this war cemetery/military cemetery for reflection: "This... is our shared hope: that the memory of the suffering of war will not breed revenge, but will lead more and more people and nations to seek a way out in peaceful coexistence. Just as European integration succeeded in becoming the great peace project of our continent. (...) That military cemeteries, as Albert Schweitzer once said, may finally become the great preachers of peace. Then, as we have experienced, reconciliation over the graves will be possible. Then peace can be lasting. We all share this responsibility."

This serene cemetery contains 1,111 individual graves of German soldiers who died in the Argonne Forest during the First World War. Created in November 1915, it is the only German cemetery in the region that has been largely preserved in its original state. Of particular note is the gravestone of Commander Baron von Müllenheim-Rechberg, who died in 1916, and the monument to the 27th Landwehr Regiment. Since 2023, the site has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage as part of the World War I Memorial Sites.

https://verdun1916.eu/?p=5031 The Kaisertunnel is part of a series of three tunnels. In the north the Ortlieb tunnel, in the middle the Kaisertunnel and in the south, closest to the front line, the Verbindungs- or Bataillonstunnel. The Kaisertunnel was the first to be built by the Prussian infantry in late 1915, early 1916, with the intention of connecting the Meurisson valley with the front. The tunnel is 350 m long, but with all the adjacent rooms and side tunnels the length becomes 455 m. A characteristic of the Kaisertunnel, but also of other German tunnels, is the S-bend that is made halfway. This is not only to prevent an enemy who has penetrated from shooting through the entire tunnel, but especially to break the shock wave of a possible explosion. French tunnels are generally straight. The work on the Kaisertunnel started as purely manual work, but after an electrical system was installed in the southern part of the tunnel, drilling machines were also used. Water supply in the tunnel was possible from a nearby source in the Meurissonsdal. In the southern end of the tunnel, in a corridor that descends to the west, the former passage to the Verbindungs or Bataillonstunnel can still be seen. The connection has collapsed over a length of several dozen meters. In the northern part of the Kaisertunnel, a hospital with an operating room was created. Injured people could go to bed here very extremes. The remains of the many facilities (first aid station with operating room, the telephone exchange, electricity station, etc.) are still visible today.

The exterior is completely fenced, the entrance is no longer even visible, although apparently a historical monument. A shame to leave this site abandoned...

The Forester Cemetery is dedicated to soldiers who died during the First World War. Located in the heart of the Argonne forest, this cemetery is home to 2,000 tombs, including ten of Garibaldians. The particularity of this place is that each grave is decorated with a hydrangea bush, creating a colorful contrast with the greenery of the forest. You can also explore the nearby sites of Haute Chevauchée, such as the Ossuary Monument, the Génie Ravine and the Kaiser Tunnel, where you can learn more about the battles that took place in the region. A hike in the surrounding area is sure to immerse you in the history and beauty of Argonne.

If you are looking for a historic and adventurous hike in the Argonne Forest, you can explore the Kaiser Tunnel near Lachalade. This tunnel was built by the German army during the First World War to allow the movement of troops and supplies without being detected by the enemy. The tunnel is approximately 350 meters long and has various facilities such as a hospital, kitchen and generator room. You can access the tunnel through the north entrance or the south entrance, both of which are classified as historical monuments. The tunnel has been closed to the public since 2012 for security reasons, but you can still admire its impressive structure and imagine the life of the soldiers who went through it. The Kaiser Tunnel is part of a network of other tunnels and trenches that you can also visit in the region.
