Hartmannswillerkopf - a photo on Flickriver

Cross of Alsace-Lorraine volunteers, summit of Hartmannswillerkopf mountain, Vosges, Alsace, France

Hartmannswillerkopf is located on a rocky spur overlooking the southern part of the Alsatian plain. From 1915, French soldiers gave it the nickname of "Vieil-Armand" and later "The Man-Eater" and "Mountain of Death".

Culminating at 956m above sealevel, this strategic position was the scene of bloody fighting between French and German soldiers from December 1914 and January 1916.

The battlefield still bears the scares of the battle that claimed the lives of 30,000 French and German soldiers. Throughout the First World War, the armies consolidated and fortified their positions with shelters and miles of trenches, which are still in a remarkable good state of conservation. For this reason, this old battlefield has become, for all intents and purposes, an open-air museum.
