Hotels near Hartmannswillerkopf, Mulhouse, France .

Hartmannswillerkopf is a pyramid shaped rocky spur in the Vosges Mountains, Mulhouse, France. The Hartmannswillerkopf peak stands at 956 meters and overlooks the plain of Alsace; there is also a national monument of World War I in Hartmannswillerkopf for the fighting which took place in the trenches here.
The Hartmannswillerkopf peak is located 24 kilometers north of Mulhouse. The mountain is shared by the towns of Hartmannswiller, Uffholtz, Wattwiller and Wuenheim, and this has been a strategic area bitterly fought for. The most severe fighting for the peak took place on 19-20 January, 26 March, 25-26 April and 21-22 December 1915. It is reported that during the war 30,000 deaths were reported with a majority of these among the French.
Today, the Hartmannswillerkopf is a French national monument. There is a cemetery and a museum at the site that is open to public and it is also possible to explore the extensive trench system. Because the lines were static for such a long period, the trenches are very well preserved, especially on the German side of the mountain.
