The Hoste Bas pond borders the Hoste Haut pond. It was part of the Maginot Line defense system. Today, they are home to numerous species of fish, much to the delight of anglers.

The Diefenbach Pond covers 75 hectares and is one of the must-see sites along the aquatic Maginot Line. It is home to a wide variety of wildlife. It's not uncommon to encounter ducks, geese, and herons on the banks while strolling.

The canal is worth a bike trip - although the section between Nancy and Xouaxange does not offer such outstanding landscapes.

A little further away you can still find the old canal and locks with lock houses. I have added 2 or 3 pictures.

A pleasant setting for a stroll between the water and the forest. The lake is a kilometer and a half long.
