The Remembrance Trail leads us on the path of the decisive battle between German and American soldiers in the vicinity of the Schumannseck during the Battle of the Bulge. The trail uses life-size pictures and silhouettes taken from photographs from the time of the battle to recreate the heavy atmosphere of the battlefield. QR codes along the trail's themes provide access to more than a hundred additional audiovisual testimonies, which help to recontextualise the whole.
