Contz-les-Bains walks

A circular walk in the Three Borders region and the Moselle wine country. The route runs alongside the Moselle before crossing it and climbing up into the woods above Schengen (Luxembourg). Beautiful views of the valley, vineyards and villages of Perl (Germany), Apach and Sierk.

(!) Please note that, following various reports, it appears that this hike is temporarily unavailable due to: - works in the town of Sierck, - temporary closure of the return route due to a fungus attacking the trees. An update will be published once the path is accessible again. This hike offers magnificent views of the Moselle valley, the Stromberg and Sierck Castle.

The heights of the Saargau above Wehingen can be reached via the slopes of the Kewelsberg through a sea of green limestone. After the descent, there are numerous old orchards, unspoilt stream valleys with clear, bubbling streams and sunken paths in extensive wooded areas.

Sarre Loop: it goes up and down. Take a short boat trip across the Sarre during your hike for just a few euros. A beautiful spot where you can enjoy a drink at a bar by the water before continuing on your way. Really lovely

Il s'agit d'un parcours réalisé dans le cadre d'une marche IVV, et qui peut être suivi à n'importe quel moment de l'année.

A hike that will take you to one of the most beautiful places in the Saarland: the Saar Loop.

The mines, the mines of yesterday, the iron mines... this is the main theme of this hike.Fond-de-Gras is the most informative site on this subject: it was the station where narrow-gauge trains converged to unload iron ore into standard-gauge wagons bound for the steelworks and blast furnaces of Pétange, Differdange and others in Belgium and Germany.

Ten kilometres from Metz, enjoy this walk along the banks of the Moselle through woods, orchards and vineyards.

Rammelay, Schelmelay, Goldkaul, Goldfralay and Eulenburg are the names of some of the rocks you will encounter along the way. Erosion has created bizarre shapes in the rocks, which can sometimes be compared to enormous heads.

Discover spectacular caves and rock formations on a challenging trail to the Grotte de l'Enfer (Hell's Cave) and a gentle return along the Black Ernz.

The V50 cycle route (Luxembourg - Lyon) crosses the Messine conurbation, running alongside the Moselle from La Maxe to Augny. Like the author, who set off from Lorry-lès-Metz, it is easy to join the route and follow it to Blénod-lès-Pont-à-Mousson, between ponds and wetlands, riding mostly on dedicated cycle paths. Then you cross "Little Lorraine Switzerland" on quiet roads to rejoin the Moselle at Liverdun, nestled in one of its beautiful meanders. Following the river along the V533 greenway, you soon come into view of Toul Cathedral, the first stop on the journey.

Discover the slopes of the Moselle AOC by bike through the vineyards and cellars of our local winegrowers in the Metz region, with stops at Robert Schuman's house, the Gallo-Roman aqueduct and the memorial to the Battle of Dornot-Corny. The return journey will follow the Voie Bleue along the banks of the Moselle. Warning: this route is quite technical, especially on the way there, and uses stony paths. It can be dangerous in wet conditions, so don't forget your protective gear and take care.
