Stork Trail

In Sarralbe we ride along the cycle path along the Saar Canal towards Bissert. After 4 kilometres we see the buildings of the former stud farm of the Duke of Lorraine dating from 1717, then 2 kilometres further on, the vast meadows of the Saar valley classified as "Natura 2000". In Bissert, the gateway to Alsace, we cross the small bridge over the Canal, which we now leave, and continue on the small municipal road, following the Velo visavis signs to the village of Hinsingen, a small, typically Alsatian rural village. We continue downhill on the municipal road to the small village of Kirviller and cross the small bridge over the river Albe, then we go up the hill and through the village to the edge of the forest. At the end of the village, on the edge of a vast forest, we take the cycle track which sometimes runs alongside, sometimes through this forest as far as the calvary near the village of Hazembourg. Magnificent views of the surrounding forests and villages with shaded rest areas. We take the local road through the village of Hazembourg to Kappelkinger. We pass through the village of Kappelkinger and then take the local road to the village of Hilsprich, following a flat route through a flat landscape. We cross the village of Hilsprich and then follow the cycle track towards the Castviller annex and the Holving lake. We join the Hirbach annex in Holving and then find the cycle track in the direction of Hinsing and Sarralbe. We continue along the cycle path through forests and meadows and then along the river Albe to Eich, one of the Sarralbe annexes. Then we cross the annex of Eich to the old "Cemetery of the Mountain". Here we have the opportunity to visit the Holy Trinity Chapel, a place of pilgrimage where the Lords of Sarralbe from the 14th and 15th centuries are buried. From the chapel, there is a panoramic view of the Albe valley and the town of Sarralbe. We take the cycle path opposite the cemetery which leads down to the "canal bridge", the first structure of this type built in France. At the level of the canal bridge and the old defence works of the "Maginot Line", we take the cycle ramp which allows us to access the towpath of the Canal, then we quietly join our starting point at about 1 kilometre distance. Must-sees in Sarralbe: the old town, the Albe Gate, the Grand Moulin, the Saar Cathedral, the Maginot Aquatic Line Museum, the stork nesting grounds tour. Route, clockwise: Sarralbe - Bissert - Hinsingen - Kirviller - Hazembourg - Kapelinher - Hilsprich - Diderfing - Holving - Hinsing - Schweix - Sarralbe

On site, you will find the trail under the following name: LE LION COURONNÉ This route invites you to discover the natural surroundings of Hambach. On its coat-of-arms, a crowned lion in red and black on a gold background, holding a green stem adorned with three roses. You will enjoy beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, particularly when passing by the large cross at Liesberg, as well as the tranquility of the forest. As you progress along the route, the landscape evolves: residential houses give way to a bucolic environment. You will walk amidst fields filled with round bales in summer and pass by the 9-meter-high cross (1939), which is said to have been erected to protect the village, and whose view extends far into the horizon. Following the hilly path leading to the Grosskatzerwald, you will be surrounded by a beautiful rural landscape worthy of a postcard... A special moment of calm with a breathtaking view of the surrounding countryside. This invitation to relaxation continues into the forest, where you can be carried away by the energy of the trees and lulled by the song of birds. A wooden bench nestled in a small clearing is the perfect refuge for a serene break, a secret haven in the heart of nature. Along a pretty path, oaks, beeches, and Scots pines offer shade and coolness in summer, as well as beautiful orange hues in autumn. Exiting the forest, you will continue on the bike path that will lead you to Hambach, passing just behind the Europôle de Sarreguemines. You will return to the village to complete your walk. - Connections: 1.2 km to the "In the footsteps of the Spiritans" circuit (Sur les traces des Spiritains -11.2 km), which passes through Neufgrange. - Trail-Marking: green ring - Geographical area: The Saar Valley, lovely detours through rivers and forests - Starting point: Hambach > rue de la Poste - Saint-Hubert Church

In the footsteps of the Spiritans

On site, you will find the trail under the following name : SUR LES TRACES DES SPIRITAINS. Put on your hiking shoes and set off on a hike that combines history and nature through the commune of Neufgrange, then on to Rémelfing, Zetting, and Siltzheim! The "In the Footsteps of the Spiritans" circuit offers a beautiful loop of 11.2 km, starting from the village of Neufgrange. From the very first steps, you will be immersed in the heritage of the Spiritan Fathers: their former convent, outbuildings, cemetery, and chapel still tell the story of their lives in this place today. A stone's throw away are Saint-Joseph School, now an elementary school, and the former castle, which has become the village hall. After this immersion in local heritage, dive into nature for a forest bath. By taking narrow paths through the Wackenkopf forest, enjoy a breath of fresh air and a true disconnection. Here, you will walk in a soothing atmosphere, surrounded by a beautiful diversity of tree species: majestic oaks stand alongside elegant beeches, while maples add a splash of color in every season. The circuit then alternates with wider paths that border fields, offering gentle slopes and stunning views of the surrounding countryside for over a kilometer. This landscape is marked by round bales in the summer and punctuated by historical markers from the 18th century, where you can still glimpse dates almost erased by time, sometimes hidden under vegetation. A pause is essential to admire a viewpoint in the northern part of the loop, offering breathtaking views of the surroundings. A sign installed in front of the Neufgrange town hall will provide you with information about the marked route of this trail. - Alternative route: a shorter version of the loop (7.6 km) can be taken by cutting at the "Wackenkopf" crossroads in one direction or at "Bruehlberg" in the other. - Connections: shared section with the “Through the Ages” trail (Au fil des Époques - 9.4 km).
