About this activity
We will get to know a little of the frontline of the 4th Armee. We walk the Hessenschlucht and visit 5 camps. We will see some tunnels, trenches, and a variety on bunkers. I will tell you about communications, attacks, threads, life and worries of both sides. The forest talks about autumn or summer, sun or rain. Beautiful flowers in a ditch. Small valleys form a kind of labyrinth. Bird sounds make the whole into a fairy tale. But this is not an innocent ditch with flowers it is a hole of a shell burst. No labyrinth, but a trench system. 100 years ago a deadly war took place here. Drum fires. Troop movements, reliefs and refreshments happened overnight. During the day it was too dangerous in the trenches to move. Walk along and experience the trenches!
