Km 0 circuit - Pfetterhouse-Moos-Bonfol

7,5km
100m
The Km 0 trail allows you to discover on a 7,5 km course, in flat and wooded terrain, the various vestiges of the three fronts: French, Swiss and German. The route can be done in both directions.
From 1871 to 1914, Pfetterhouse was the village of the three borders. The terminal of the three powers, where the borders of France, Switzerland and Germany met, had become a tourist attraction and a place of international conviviality.
In the fall of 1914, the French fixed the start of the Front at the Swiss border of Largin. The boundary marker n ° 111 then became the Zero Kilometer of the Western Front.
The Friends of the Zero Kilometer association works, through this discovery trail, to promote and promote this place steeped in history and symbols.
The work it has undertaken has made it possible to restore several concrete structures on the front line, freely accessible and secure. Topoguide downloadable from the website of our partner Visorando.
