Fort Duomont is an interesting historical site. Here you can practically feel the claustrophobia the soldiers must have experienced while fighting here. It's also impressive to think how many died trying to capture this hill.

On the Ruette side, passing through Pré Morel, you can reach the Ravel Latour Chenois, while avoiding the main road. On the Grandcourt side, you can reach St-Remy via a country road. On the Grandcourt side, you can also climb the Côte de Grandcourt (2.4 km at 5.5%) and continue on for a foray into Meurthe-et-Moselle (FR).

It is nice to see that the water level of the canal is much higher than the water level of the stream.

The weight of history and sacrifice. Not to be missed.

The Ossuary of Douaumont is an impressive memorial that holds the remains of more than 130,000 unknown French and German soldiers who died during the Battle of Verdun (1916). The bones are visible through small windows in the base – a confronting reminder of the horrors of war. In front of the ossuary is the Nécropole nationale de Douaumont, the largest French military cemetery of the First World War, with 16,142 graves, including a Muslim and Jewish plot. The complex was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2023.

Silent witnesses to the destructive madness

For enthusiasts who want to marvel at this impressive hall. Here you come face to face with a war machine.

Nice gravel where you can enjoy the water on both sides. Know that it can be quite busy here. Enjoy at your own pace. On one side you look out over the flood plain and the meanders of the Maas and on the other you simply follow the straightness of the Maas Canal.
