If you have time, you should visit it.

⛪ **Chapel of Sainte-Marguerite – A peaceful place of worship in a rural setting** The small **Chapel of Sainte-Marguerite** is picturesquely situated in the rolling hills of northern Lorraine. It is dedicated to **Saint Margaret of Antioch** – patron saint of farmers and women in labor – and formerly served as a site for **supplication processions and village festivals**. 🕯️ The simple, historic building invites you to pause for a moment of tranquility with its peaceful atmosphere. Flowers or candles are often found here – a sign of the residents' deep connection to their chapel. **Tip:** Ideal for a quiet rest or as a spiritual stopover on a hike through the Lorraine border region.

🛡️ **Ouvrage du Hackenberg** – The Largest Fortification of the Maginot Line** The **Ouvrage du Hackenberg** near **Veckring** is the most impressive and largest fortification of the **Maginot Line** – a real must-see for history buffs. Built between 1929 and 1935, it includes: 🔩 **17 combat and entry blocks**, 🚇 over **10 km of underground tunnels**, 🚂 an **internal electric railway**, ⚙️ barracks, ammunition depots, a hospital, and a power supply. During World War II, the fort was combat-ready, but was evacuated without a fight after the armistice in 1940. The French Army later reused the facility during the Cold War. 🎟️ Today, Hackenberg has been beautifully restored and can be visited on guided tours – including a ride on the original narrow-gauge railway. Tip: Be sure to take a guided tour – it lasts about two hours. The underground coolness is pleasant even in summer! It's ideal for a half-day excursion with a historical twist.

Don't mess with Putin

The castle was once one of the most popular residences of the Dukes of Lorraine. Today, visitors can visit the towers, the granary, the powder magazine, the arsenal, and the provisions store.

Very beautiful castle with sometimes exciting exhibitions and events. At an event organized by the University of Metz, I was able to experience an interesting tour there with a great dinner in the large hall. The meal was accompanied by a lute ensemble.

This chapel in Sainte Marguerite is located directly on the Way of St. James and invites pilgrims to take a short break.
