The Étang d'Amel is an artificial pond created by monks in the 13th century for fish farming. Today it is a nature reserve which is home to a wide variety of birds and plants. You can follow a 7.8 km trail that circles the pond and passes through forests, meadows and wetlands. Along the way, you can admire the water and wildlife from two observatories. The hike is easy and suitable for all fitness levels. The Étang d'Amel is a hidden gem that will delight nature lovers and ornithologists.

🌿 **Étang d'Amel – A tranquil pond with a natural flair near Basse-Ham**

The Étang d'Amel is a small, idyllic pond east of Thionville, surrounded by meadows, groves of trees, and quiet walking paths. The water serves as a refuge for birds and amphibians – and a relaxing spot for walkers and nature lovers.

🦆 Occasionally, you'll encounter anglers, ducks, or herons here – otherwise: pure peace and quiet.

**Tip:** Perfect for a quiet break on your hike – take some time and enjoy the sound of the water and the birdsong.
