Walking tour: The Staufen

" Important site of the resistance, a walk to the Staufen, a monument which shouldn't be forgotten... "

The Cross of Lorraine, a 12 m high building, dominates the town of Thann. A symbol of the Alsatian Resistance at the end of the Second World War, the foundation stone was laid by General de Gaulle on 1 August 1948. The lighting of this monument, built on the Staufen hill, recalls the flame of the Resistance evoked in General de Gaulle's appeal of 18 June. A family walk to see THann from above. The highlight is the superb view over the town, the Alsace plain and sometimes the Alps.
