The Linge Memorial museum

Orbey

The Linge is one of the most important places of the battle of the Hautes-Vosges during the First World War.

Nearly 20,000 French and German soldiers were killed, wounded or missing. The well-preserved German defense system can still be seen today on the easily accessible battlefield.

The museum presents a collection of objects found on the battlefield and offers you an immersion in the life of the soldier at that time and in that place.

A 20-minute video will show you the historical context of the battle of the Linge in 1915.

You can take advantage of this opportunity to enhance your visit with a walk in the mountains and, why not, a stop at a farm inn.
