An interesting site, especially thanks to the various information panels. The climb through the woods (more pleasant than the road, which is closed to traffic anyway) is enjoyable. However, it might seem a bit steep for those who aren't in good shape. There's a beautiful viewpoint at the top, and numerous trails allow you to extend the walk. The starting car park fills up quite quickly, but it's perfectly possible to park in the village, which is what we did. A sunny day is definitely preferable!

Fort Plappeville, renamed Fort Alvensleben in 1872, is a military installation northwest of Metz. It is part of the first fortified belt of Metz, built during the Second Empire by Napoleon III. The first fortified belt of Metz consists of the forts Saint-Privat (1870), Queleu (1867), Bordes (1870), Saint-Julien (1867), Gambetta, Déroulède, Decaen, Plappeville (1867), and Saint-Quentin (1867). Most of them were still unfinished in 1870, when the Franco-Prussian War broke out.

You're absolutely right – the tower in the picture is clearly made of metal, not wood. Thanks for pointing that out. Here's the corrected version: --- 🗼 Observation tower near Pierrevillers – A steel view Rising in the middle of the forest near Pierrevillers, a metal observation tower, with its open structure, offers a panoramic view of the Moselle Valley, the surrounding hills, and, on a clear day, even as far as Luxembourg. 🔩 The solid steel structure is accessible via several platforms and stairs and, despite its height, appears delicately embedded in the natural surroundings. **Tip:** Ideal in good weather – the view from the top is worth every climb and is perfect for a quiet moment or impressive photos.

💧 Plan d'Eau de la Sangsue – Small Natural Lake Tucked away in the countryside lies the Plan d'Eau de la Sangsue, a small natural lake with wild shoreline vegetation, calm waters, and a natural charm. While its name ("Leech Pond") is unusual, the body of water is a peaceful spot for walkers, nature lovers, and birdwatchers. 🌿 Surrounded by forest and meadows, the pond is a refuge for amphibians, insects, and waterfowl. A narrow path leads along the shore – ideal for a quiet break in nature. Tip: Particularly beautiful in spring or when there is light fog – then the pond appears almost mystical. Perfect for a quiet rest off the beaten track.
