View of Contz-les-Bains and the Moselle Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great view of the Mosel valley and the wine village of Contz-les-Bains. A bank invites you to rest. You should do that before the next climb.

Beautiful chapel with grotto and cross

Highlight • Other

This pretty chapel is located a little off the official route of the dream loop "Schengen Grenzenlos". Next to it is a lawn, at the edge of which a cross and a small grotto with a statue of the Virgin Mary are nestled in the rock. Very pretty and idyllic and ideal for a short rest before the climb to the Stromberg plateau.

Chapel of Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows

Highlight • Religious Site

This small chapel is consecrated to Our Lady, under the title "Notre Dame des Sept Douleurs", literally translated "Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows", we usually refer to this title for Maria in the German language as the "painful" or "painful Madonna" ". In the depictions that go with it, Our Lady is usually surrounded by seven swords that stab her in the body or in the heart. Its biblical origin can be found in the Gospel of Luke, where Simeon says to Mary about her son Jesus Christ: "See, he is destined to cause many in Israel to fall and be raised up, and he will be a sign that is contradicted and a sword will pierce your soul ... "(Luke 2, 34-35)

Sierck-les-Bains quartzite quarry 🇨🇵

Highlight • Other

The Sierck-les-Bains quartzite quarry was used to extract quartzite for the construction of the castle, the church, and several houses in Sierck-les-Bains.

Towards the end of the First World War, it was used for industrial purposes. Quartzite mining experienced a significant boom, as this material was used as paving stones in Metz.

Abandoned since 1967, this quarry now makes way for a site with exceptional ecological qualities.
The ten hectares of the Sierck-les-Bains quartzite quarry, thanks to its geological composition, are home to a rare flora and fauna specific to acidic soils. This area is also partly home to blue fescue, a very rare species that is in danger of extinction.

This site is valued under the Interreg II "Living the Nature of the Border Region" program. The city has entrusted the site's protection to the Conservatoire des Sites Lorrains, leasing it for the long term.
