Discover the treasures of Munster, Moselle, Lorraine

This walking route starts at the foot of the collegiate church of Munster to join the Boucle de Sainte-Anne in the Albestroff national forest.

This itinerary links the "Les coteaux d'Albestroff" and "Boucle de Sainte-Anne" circuits between the "Les Garennes" and "Sainte-Anne" directional posts.

Since the early Middle Ages, the village of Albestroff and its castle were, together with those of Vic-sur-Seille and Marsal, one of the main fortresses of the bishopric of Metz. The dukes of Lorraine, the bishops, the Imperials and France fought over Albestroff for centuries. In 1637, after having been completely ravaged, it came under French rule. During your walk, discover the last vestiges of its castle. From the hillsides, enjoy a magnificent landscape of vast forests, ponds and meadows.

In the heart of a natural and forested environment, this circuit leads you to the discovery of the Sainte-Anne site. This site is built on the site of an old hermitage which once attracted pilgrims. The neo-Gothic chapel of Sainte-Anne and the cemetery with its monumental gateway are the last vestiges. Insming is characterised by its very dense commercial fabric and the listed organ of its Saint-Clément church. Munster is home to the collegiate church of Saint-Nicolas, with its two spires reaching a height of 73 metres. The famous Lorina lemonade is still produced here.

The hiking trail of the "Cornée d'Argent" is along the pond of Mittersheim. The start is at the marina. The name of the village comes from the German "Mothars Heim" : the house of Mothar. The pond of Mittersheim has a surface of 220 hectares. It has the particularity of being crossed by the Saar canal. The circular path is about 10km long and takes about 3 hours to complete.It is an easy hike.

On site you will find the trail under the following name: COLCHIQUES ET MARAIS A beautiful variety of landscapes and sceneries are to be discovered during this stroll on the southern part of the destination Sarreguemines Confluences, which now and then crosses the Albe, a small river and a tributary of the Saar, which is well worth a visit. Once you've finished Kappelkinger, head south on the cycle path and continue towards Audviller and Val de Guéblange. This section joins the route of the “The Hamann oak” (Le chêne Hamann) trail, which may be of interest to you. You will cross the natural surroundings of the meadows and wet areas of the Albe, classified as Natura 2000, comprising the valleys of the Saar as well as Isch - The Francaltroff marshland is home to a remarkable array of plant species, many of which are regionally protected, due to the area's richly humid and exceptional conditions. The 27-hectare Val de Guéblange nature reserve includes three beautiful wetland ecosystems classified as the Marais et prairies du Val de Guéblange. In late summer, you can admire the meadows adorned with colchicums, which add a touch of charm and colour to this already biodiverse landscape. It's well worth a visit! In addition to the natural treasures, this 11.3 km trail will also draw your attention to the small villages in the countryside and their remarkable cultural heritage: the half-timbered houses and the church of Saint-Jacques dating from 1733 in Kappelkingen, the half-timbered house of Maison de Leo dating from 1738 (currently being restored by the town council) and the 12th century church tower in Val de Guéblange are not to be missed. The numerous Maginot Line blockhouses along the way are also worth a visit. Continuing north of Val de Guéblange offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. - Alternative route: Can be completed by the circular route “The Hamann Oak” (Le Chêne Hamann - 12.6 km), to the south of the route. Part of the route (1.9 km) is common to both trails. - Connections: The "Colchicum and Marshes" trail (Colchiques et Marais) is linked to several other ones: “The Hamann Oak” (Le Chêne Hamann - 12.6 km), “From the Farm to the Pasture” (De la Ferme aux Pâturages - 10.8 km), “In the Footsteps of the Marsouins” (Sur les Pas des Marsouins - 13 km) to the pond of Hirbach.

Right from the start in Kappelkinger, you will be charmed by its half-timbered houses and the Saint-Jacques Church, dating back to 1733, which stand as living witnesses of a preserved rural heritage. Along the way, the picturesque passage under the archway of the Zellen educational farm welcomes you and invites you to continue towards the lush landscapes. Continue your walk towards the hamlet of Petit-Rohrbach, where an impressive natural monument awaits: a majestic 13th-century pedunculated oak, about twenty meters tall. This centuries-old giant has been watching over these lands for centuries, a true witness to the history of the area. Throughout this route, let yourself be carried away by the serenity of the pastures, marked by the presence of animals and the gentle breeze sweeping through the meadows. A small section of the itinerary in Kappelkinger coincides with the 11.3 km “Colchicums and Marshes” route, which leads you to the Val de Guéblange. - Connections: a 3.2 km link allows you to reach Hilsprich and connect to the routes “Around the Marais pond” (Autour de l’Étang des Marais - 11.8 km) to the Hirbach pond in Holving, and “In the Footsteps of the Marsouins” (Sur les Pas des Marsouins - 13 km), which partially circles the Marais-Pond in Rémering-lès-Puttelange. - Trail-Marking: yellow rectangle - Geographical area: The Albe Valley, in the heart of unspoilt nature - Starting point: Kappelkinger > rue de l'Albe - Cemetery
