October 21, 2025, Memorial (Cimetière national de Cernay)

The Cernay National Cemetery is a memorial dedicated to the soldiers who fell during the battles of Vieil-Armand and Steinbach in the summer of 1914. Created in 1920, it was designed to house the bodies exhumed from temporary military cemeteries in the region and was reorganized after World War II to include soldiers who died between 1940 and 1945. This cemetery contains 2,238 French bodies, as well as Czech, Russian, British, and Serbian combatants. Two ossuaries contain the remains of 938 combatants.

Burnhaupt-le-Haut, is a bourg rural (a rural centre with urban influences) in the Doller valley, on the edge of the Vosges. In 1917, it was almost completely destroyed during WWI. The Saint-Boniface church, originally from the 18th century, was rebuilt after WWII in a striking art deco style. Inside you will find, among other things, an organ from 1930 and Byzantine-inspired wood carvings.

The Col de Herrenfluh is located at an altitude of 837 metres in the Vosges, between Uffholtz and Wattwiller. The summit is located along the Route des Crêtes and offers magnificent views over the Rhine Valley and the surrounding forests. Nearby are the ruins of the Château du Herrenfluh, which was once an observation post during the First World War (but difficult to reach for a cyclist).

The Château du Herrenfluh is a medieval ruin at an altitude of 858 metres. It was built in 1312 by Johan von Sankt Amarin, nicknamed Nordwind, and served as a lookout post for the princes-abbatons of Murbach. Due to its strategic location, the castle offered a panoramic view over Alsace, all the way to the foothills of the Jura. In 1376, it was captured by English mercenaries and later, in 1468, destroyed by the Swiss. During the First World War, the site was again used as a French observation post. Today, some ruins are still visible, and volunteers are working to preserve the remains. It is an interesting historical site along the Route des Crêtes.

The Cimetière national de Cernay is a serene French military cemetery dating from 1920, where more than 2,700 soldiers who fell during the bloody battles around Vieil-Armand and Steinbach in 1914 rest. Until 1936, the site became a memorial site for the fallen from temporary frontline cemeteries in Alsace, and in 1932 it also received the bodies of Czech soldiers from other regions. A silent witness to the First World War, in the middle of the green landscape of the Vosges.
