A beautiful US Army military cemetery. One of many worldwide, but this one dates back to World War II.

The Einseling fortification is a single-block fortified structure of the Maginot Line located in the fortified sector of Faulquemont, between the communes of Bambiderstroff and Longeville-lès-Saint-Avold. Its name comes from the Finselingerberg hill on which it is built. When it was projected by the CORF in the 1930s, the army used old German maps where the Gothic script annotations were misinterpreted: the F in Finseling was transformed into an E.

The history of the picturesque Bonne Fontaine chapel in Hoste began in 1799, when a Marian apparition occurred near a spring, in front of a deaf-mute child, who was cured. Other stories of healing quickly appeared and large pilgrimages were organized, in the context of the French Revolution, which did not appreciate these crowd movements. In 1848, a Calvary was erected, then the spring was developed. Finally, at the dawn of the First World War, the chapel was erected to receive the religious fervor aroused by this place steeped in both belief and legend.

The place is beautiful

Unfortunately the route is blocked between point 12 and the end. There is a new metal barrier blocking the way

For me, the city of St. Avold had few special sights, but you should visit this church 👍

The view is quite ok only the power plant disturbs.

You should have seen it. Take your time and let yourself be impressed. There is parking and you can chain the bikes.
