🛡️ **Fort de Guentrange – German Fortification above Thionville** The **Fort de Guentrange** was built between 1899 and 1906 by the German Reich Army when Thionville (then Diedenhofen) was part of the German Empire. It is one of the best-preserved forts along the Moselle River and part of the so-called **Moselstellung** – a defensive line against France. 🔩 The fortress is strategically located above the town, overlooking the Moselle Valley. It consists of underground passages, casemates, ammunition depots, and observation towers – some still with their original furnishings. 🎖️ Today, the fort is a museum (accessible only with a guided tour) and offers fascinating insights into military technology, the daily lives of soldiers, and European border history. **Tip:** Tours usually take place on Sundays – check in advance! The path to the fort already offers great views and is a good hiking stage with a historical destination.

🏰 Thionville – A Border Town with History on the Moselle Thionville (German: Diedenhofen) is located in northeastern France, not far from the borders with Germany and Luxembourg. The city looks back on a turbulent past – between the Romans, the Lorrainers, the Prussians, and the French. Numerous buildings still bear witness to this turbulent history: the medieval fortress, the Tour aux Puces (a former keep, now a museum), and the neoclassical buildings in the city center. 🚶♂️ Thionville is a starting point for exploring the Moselle Valley, visiting castles like the Château de Malbrouck, or natural sites like the Stromberg with its caves and rock formations. 🛤️ Due to its location on the Moselle River and its proximity to Luxembourg, Thionville is also an important transportation hub today – but as soon as you leave the city, you're immersed in a tranquil, green landscape full of cultural and historical discoveries.

✝️ Pilgrim's Cross near Thionville (1721) An impressive wayside cross from 1721 – simple yet powerful, framed by an ornately wrought iron railing. It stands on a small hill overlooking the hilly landscape near Thionville and invites you to pause for a moment – in keeping with the ancient pilgrimage tradition. Tip: Come early in the morning – then the cross lies still in the light, and the place exudes a special sense of tranquility. Ideal for a quiet moment on your route through Grand Est.

The Voie Bleue runs from the fortified town of Thionville, with its two lock bridges, true masterpieces of military architecture, along the port of Illange, the first river port for metallurgical products, passing by its industrial heritage and the former U4 blast furnace, one of the few buildings of the 20th century steel industry that is now a cultural and historical centre. Just before Metz, the cycle path crosses a beautiful wetland with idyllic ponds. Take the opportunity of your stay in the Lorraine capital to stroll through the old town: the Saint-Etienne Cathedral and the Pompidou-Metz Centre for Contemporary Art are two must-sees.
