Arnaud

A beautiful place of remembrance

"A beautiful place of remembrance that should be much better known and brought to the fore. Well done to the volunteers who are doing a wonderful job restoring and conserving the trenches, as well as fitting out the museum, which is funded exclusively by donations. Many thanks to you all.

Emeline O

5 stars

"5 stars for this well-maintained memorial site and for the museum staff, who are always ready to help. Accessible by various hiking trails (the one from the Wettstein pass is very good!) or directly by car. Parking and access for people with reduced mobility."

Paul

emotions

It's always very moving to be on a historic site, with so many emotions. So many lives lost, a duty of memory to be preserved.

Jean-Paul

well-maintained

"Site of a ferocious battle in 1915 where 17,000 men lost their lives. A site well maintained by volunteers where you can get a feel for the war of position. A nice little museum to boot. Highly recommend."

Nicolas

Super museum

Superb museum, with many exhibits and staging. In one room, a video is projected to explain the battle, which is a little-known part of our history. Outside, the site gives an idea of the scale of the fighting that took place, with well-preserved remains to the fore, and several circuits allowing visitors to wander through the trenches and shelters for varying lengths of time.

A must for children and teenagers

A moving look back at man's folly and self-sacrifice. Respect Many thanks to the people who maintain this place of memory.

The Battle of Linen

From July 20 to October 16, 1915, the Linge was the scene of a fierce battle. This peaceful mountainous landscape was transformed into a chaotic field of desolation. The lives, bodies and spirits of countless French and German soldiers were shattered in this inferno. More than 6,000 of them lost their lives on these lands, never to see their families again.
