Could someone please point out where:
1. Neuviller Kopf
2. Schwarzberg
3. Steenbach
4. Steinthal and
5. Eichenrain Bastion III
would be located in the Vosges and what are their French names as of today please?

Hi egbert,

1. Could it be Neuviller la Roche ?
2. I found nothing (except a glacier in Switzerland)
3. One Steinbach in Alsace (Haut-Rhin) and one "ancienne commune française de la Moselle" : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinbach
4. Steinthal is the german name for Ban-de-la-Roche : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ban_de_la_Roche

Regards.

It says clearly Neuviller-Kopf and according to the picture series must be somewhere between Tete de Faux and down south to HWK via Linge

[egbert]

Next enigma: what is the name of this town. All above and coming questions could be close/around Linge

[egbert]

Here is the "Eichenrain" Beobachtungsposten querie. Where could that be?

[egbert]

Steenbach /Vosges, but where?

[egbert]

Steinthal or Stein...bad , but must be Vosges:

[egbert]

This is Schwarzberg, Vosges - but where is it actually?

[Yv']

Schwarzberg could be "le Noirmont" (863), north of the Linge.

Try the "IGN" maps (very detailed) at this address :

Hello again

I found Eichenrain east from the Linge. It is called "Rain des chênes" (I understand the French "rain" as a "wood edge").

You can see it on the IGN map (enter the name "Hohrod" in the field "Entrer une commune" on the link I gave above).

Regards.
