From the viewing platform you have a great view of the former Carrière Barrois quarry, which has been out of service for a long time and reminds of the industrial era in Freyming-Merlebach. Nature has recovered a lot and turned the artificial crater into a bizarre canyon landscape. Today the area is used as a local recreation area. Several kilometers of hiking trails lead through which you can also ride your bike.

Evidence from the industrial era in Freyming-Merlebach includes the Cuvelette-Süd mines (classified as a monument in 1992) and the "Carrière Barrois" quarry. From the observation tower you have a fascinating view of a huge, artificially created crater that reminds you of the American canyons. Large red sandstone cliffs, lakes, slopes with green mountain material and several kilometers of hiking trails (approx. 7 km): nature takes its course. A leisure area, hiking, relaxing, friendly nature, fauna, flora. Specific adjustments allow pedestrians, cyclists and wheelchair users to enter. The starting point of the hike is the parking lot of the town hall of Reumaux (2 rue de Savoie - 57800 Freyming-Merlebach). 4 entrances are possible: - Near the shooting range - Near the rose garden - Through the town of Sainte-Fontaine - Entry through the forest of Warndt in Hombourg-Haut.

Great view, perfect for a rest after the 1.8km long climb from Karlsbrunn.
