メルテンのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The Cross of Lorraine (also called the double cross or Anjou cross) is a cross with two crossbars of equal length and has been a symbol of the Duchy of Lorraine since the 15th century.

Several hiking trails intersect here.

The 7km hike, which is signposted with the European Star-Spangled Banner and partially follows the longer "Beruser Tafeltour," leads on both sides of the German-French border along gravel paths over the rounded ridges of the Saargau region, offering beautiful views that are slightly hazy in autumn, and along pleasant paths through wooded sections. Highlights include the Europa transmitter with its broadcasting hall and six transmission masts (not open to the public), the Oranna Chapel, a Marian grotto in Berviller, and the Europa Monument.

You almost walk past it.

Beautiful, narrow path through the forest with historical significance

The spring bubbles with incredible vitality. If you're careful, it's worth exploring a bit further upstream. I haven't been able to find the actual source of the spring.

Since 1912, Alsace-Lorraine carried a patriarchal cross on its flag, as did the French resistance (Free French Forces) from 1940 to 1944.

You can apparently eat very well here I only had one beer today
