グロブリエデルストロフの天然記念物・トップ20

When we see a monument like this, which we also encounter here in Spicheren, we are accustomed to thinking first of the two world wars that shook Europe in the first half of the 20th century. However, the history of the memorial located on this site goes back several decades: It commemorates the victims of the 1870/71 war waged by France against Germany. France's military defeat at the hands of the forces of the North German Confederation (led by Prussia), with the participation of the southern German states, led directly to the founding of what was then the German Empire.

A place steeped in history! The Battle of Spichern (also known as the Battle of Speicher, Battle of Spicheren, in France also known as the Bataille de Forbach) on August 6, 1870 was a battle of the Franco-Prussian War. It was named after its location, the village of Spichern near Forbach, not far from the German-French border near Saarbrücken.

Great single trail through the gorge

Nice path through the gorge

Walked the really nice route yesterday. Unfortunately we had to bypass part of it because local residents put up a sign prohibiting passage (before waypoint 5).

ATTENTION the Zehnwäldchen Gorge is no longer maintained and has been abandoned. The Nußweilerhof is private and you don't want anyone to cross it. There are signs everywhere. There are also no alternative routes when you are there. After the Dalheimer Klamm there is a new seat at a crossroads. You have to go left and bypass the Nußweilerhof and you are back on the tour. Unfortunately without lost places. Or like my tour but without the xylophone 🤔😜

Mandelbachtal is a lovely area. With hills, meadows beautiful views.

Big place with a great view
