View from the Summit Cross of Hartmannswillerkopf

Highlight • Summit

Although this point is the highest point on the HWK, it is "only" a high plateau. If you follow the second round (Boucle 2), you get to another rocky peak on the eastern shoulder with a very nice view.

Today, there was history. The Harrtmannswillerkopf was a fiercely contested peak during the First World War. From 1914 to 1918, Germans and French fought for supremacy on the mountain. You can experience history firsthand at authentic locations. Very interesting and poignant.
