National Necropolis

This military cemetery at the top of Côte 627 commemorates the fierce battles of 1915 between French and German troops in the Vosges. The necropolis was built between 1921 and 1923 and contains 2,346 graves, 1,382 of which are in ossuaries. At its heart is a monumental memorial – a “phare” or lighthouse – designed by Émile Bachelet, visible from the entire valley. The site was strategically crucial: on 22 June 1915, German troops took the heights, but on 8 and 9 July the French recaptured the terrain.

Between the Villé valley and the small Giessen d'Urbeis valley, the Blanc-Noyer pass hosts a pretty meadow in the middle of an essentially wooded massif.

Salm Castle was built between 1205 and 1225 by Henri III, Count of Salm (from Haute Lorraine). Castle ruins under reconstruction; beautiful view; Rather difficult to reach via the trail
