The Kerfent fort is a Maginot Line fortification located in the Faulquemont fortified sector in Moselle, not far from the former Zimming security barracks. Its name originates from a wood located north of National Route 3. Along with its neighbor, the Bambesch wood, it defended this important passage against a potential invasion. According to Marshal Pétain, this was "the heart of the Maginot Line." However, despite the fifteen blocks planned in the initial designs, this fortification was significantly reduced in size due to budget cuts: the artillery blocks, the separate entrance, and the defensive emplacements for a hypothetical anti-tank ditch were eliminated during construction, ultimately resulting in the building of a simple, small infantry fortification. The main construction work (concrete pouring) was completed in 1932.

In view of the small sacred monument encountered here, some hikers may feel the need to pause for a moment before this cross. As a perhaps helpful thought, I would like to offer a few quotes from Christiane Völkel: + "Only when I give heaven space, when I entrust myself to it, can I also feel that it is working. This doesn't always go in the direction I wish, but it fills me with a sense of security and relaxation, of being in God, of being protected, or at least not being alone. Sometimes then, the certainty rises within me that heaven is reaching out to me. Not just to hold me, but so that I can place my despair and helplessness into its hands."

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.

The Hussards hill is a beautiful place for mountain biking. Several circuits are available at its entrance.
