셰르메나이‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪4‬개의 동굴

old castle ruins

The opening times are published online and it's worth investing the €4 for entry. The complex is huge, although not all rooms are accessible. We visited without a guide, but were provided with detailed information material - in German! A very interesting complex that is maintained by a club. Respect!!!

This fort was built between 1875 and 1879. The fort forms the southern end of the defensive curtain of the Haute Moselle region, adjoining the fortified region of Belfort, which extends to the south. The fort was built as part of the French Séré de Rivières system of fortifications to defend France against a recurrence of the Prussian invasion of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–1871. The fort was one of the most heavily armed forts in the northeast during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Entrance 3€/pers. (free for accompanied children under 12). OPENING EVERY SUNDAY and public holidays from July 3 to September 18 (inclusive): from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. (entrances close at 5:15 p.m.) Possibility of guided tour from April to October (Reservation required).

The fort of Giromagny, built between 1875 and 1879, is part of a line of defense called Haute-Moselle set up at the time. It was used during the First and Second World Wars, but remained abandoned for a long time. It was bought by the municipality in 1988. Since then, it has been restored and is open to visitors.

The Salbert is one of the southernmost mountains of the Vosges. At its summit you have an unobstructed view of the entire Territoire de Belfort. Le Salbert is a stronghold of local military history. Fort du Salbert still bears witness to this past today.

Started in 1831, roughly triangular in shape, it is a bastioned fort with a cavalier, intended to accommodate a dozen guns in the open air. On the west bastion stands a tower serving as an observatory. Hit by shells in 1870-1871 and in 1940, it was rebuilt each time, more for sentimental than military reasons. Indeed, before the construction of the fort, this place was already occupied by a very old stone tower of uncertain origins and destination, which has become a real symbol for the Belfortains.

The llamas around the tower are also worth seeing.😉
