Extensively renovated in the 1950s and incorporated into the War Cemetery, the chapel and cemetery are worth seeing....

Dahn War Cemetery

Highlight • Historical Site

Here rest our soldiers: sons and fathers. A sorrowful place. By the small chapel lies a book with their names and dates of birth and death. So many young people who had to give their lives for the Fatherland.

A weekend on the border of Germany and France in the picturesque town of Dahn, where I have been many times, exceeded my expectations. From the moment I entered the region, I felt the magic of this charming place, surrounded by greenery and majestic rocks growing here and there on the hills 🤪😲
