20의 포바흐-볼헨가지 명소 & 주요 장소

When we see a monument like this, which we also encounter here in Spicheren, we are accustomed to thinking first of the two world wars that shook Europe in the first half of the 20th century. However, the history of the memorial located on this site goes back several decades: It commemorates the victims of the 1870/71 war waged by France against Germany. France's military defeat at the hands of the forces of the North German Confederation (led by Prussia), with the participation of the southern German states, led directly to the founding of what was then the German Empire.

The Cross of Lorraine (also called the double cross or Anjou cross) is a cross with two crossbars of equal length and has been a symbol of the Duchy of Lorraine since the 15th century.

The 7km hike, which is signposted with the European Star-Spangled Banner and partially follows the longer "Beruser Tafeltour," leads on both sides of the German-French border along gravel paths over the rounded ridges of the Saargau region, offering beautiful views that are slightly hazy in autumn, and along pleasant paths through wooded sections. Highlights include the Europa transmitter with its broadcasting hall and six transmission masts (not open to the public), the Oranna Chapel, a Marian grotto in Berviller, and the Europa Monument.

Here, the border between France and Germany runs along, as a median strip, the "Neutral Street," known in France as "Rue de la Frontière" (Border Street), which runs through the town. Thus, on one side of the street, the houses are in Germany, on the other, in France.

Beautiful scenery, varied tour.

📍 Celtic House Rehlingen-Siersburg – Hands-on History This reconstructed Celtic farmstead, created from finds from the Saar-Moselle-Metz region, stands in the middle of the forest. It demonstrates how Celtic tribes lived, built, and buried their dead over 2,000 years ago. 🏡 The complex includes a residential building, burial mounds, and information panels – erected with the support of local schools, communities, and clubs. An exciting learning center with a real connection to regional history.

Beautiful, narrow path through the forest with historical significance

The American tank M24 Chaffee on the historic Spicherer Heights, a war site of two world wars in the German-French border region is a worthwhile sight!
