Visited on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the liberation by the US forces in March 1945. Michel Klein is a knowledgeable and caring curator of all the memorabilia donated by American and French families whose fathers, brothers, and uncles died and/or survived the conflicts that took place.

Some challenging pushing sections in both directions. It's easier to ride towards Altschlossfelsen.
