The Ammertzwiller memory circuit

On this 1914-18 war memory trail, you can observe, in addition to many bunkers, the traces of the mine war, with the pond called "funnel", 9 m deep, the result of an underground explosion, provoked by the German army, under the French positions.

You will cross Gildwiller le Mont, a former pilgrimage site, and its way of the cross to reach Ammertzwiller, which is distinguished by the presence of fields of miscanthus, a plant resembling rushes, sown to replace corn, which pollutes too much in nitrates.

Fifteen didactic panels complete the route.

Departure: Church of Ammertzwiller or Gildwiller on the Mont.
