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.

Mount Saint Pierre, also known as "Haut Saint Pierre" or "côte 325", is 30 minutes from Metz, near the town of Villers-Stoncourt. The name comes from the small chapel that is on the top of the hill, next to a small cemetery. In good weather you can enjoy a beautiful all-round view from here and look to the south-east as far as the Vosges (Donon).
