Named after General Sénarmont, Fort Bessoncourt was built between 1883 and 1886 to close the roads to Colmar and Basel and the railway to Mulhouse, and to support the forts of Roppe and Vézelois. It is a large pentagonal limestone structure, built for approximately 650 men and 30 artillery pieces. It is typical of forts dating from the 1880s, in which the long-range artillery and close defense were grouped on the rampart bordering the ditch, while the infantry was positioned above the caponiers of the escarpment and on the roof of the central barracks. Opening hours: Visit at 3 p.m. on Sundays from May to September

Symbol of the inhabitants of Belfort below, this tower is more fragile than it seems. Bombed twice in the last two centuries, it has been rebuilt each time. With a fantastic view of the Etang des Forges, it is an excellent accompaniment to your run.

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.
