Bunker alemão da Primeira Guerra Mundial Veilchenstein

Fantastic view, so idyllic today, overgrown again and peaceful. May it stay like this forever! Live la paix!

German WW1 position consisting of bunkers, tunnels, and trenches. Care should be taken in the tunnels due to possible rockfall or collapse.

The "Veilchenstein" is a German shelter located on the Hartmannswillerkopf¹ battlefield. This shelter, built into a rock, is equipped with a machine gun post and observatories¹.Hartmannswillerkopf, also known as Vieil Armand, is a pyramidal rocky spur in the Vosges massif, overlooking the Alsace plain from its 957 meters¹. During the First World War, it was a strategic summit hotly contested by the French and German armies¹.Today, the Hartmannswillerkopf is a place of memory, bearing witness to the suffering of the soldiers who fought in the name of their country¹. The German remains encountered on the ground, sometimes quite spaced apart from each other, are witnesses to this historical period¹.(1). bing.com/search?q=veilchenstein+harmannswillerkopf.
