The climb is indeed steep, but it is worth it to admire the panorama and the Column.

The Lamotte-Brebière locks are a series of locks that regulate the flow of water and allow boats to navigate the river. You can start your hike at the Maison Éclusière de Lamotte-Brebière, a former lock keeper's house transformed into a café and cultural center. You can taste local products, admire the works of art on display and take part in various activities and events. You will also be able to observe the fauna and flora that develop in this humid environment.

As a memorial to the endless number of war dead, such a “Cimetiere militaire” – in German they are usually referred to as a “war cemetery” or “soldiers' cemetery” – is still very important today. “Now you, Lord, let your servant depart in peace, as you said...” it says in the so-called “Song of Simeon” (Gospel of Luke chapter 2, verse 29). However, the many people buried here by no means died in peace, but rather became victims of war and an inhumane tyranny. The most important and at the same time enduring function of military or honorary cemeteries or war cemeteries is to keep the memory of this suffering alive and - every generation anew (!) - to remind us of the lasting preservation of peace.
