A varied route where you walk between paths and forest tracks, towpath, cycle path, easy crossing of a small village and 2 slightly more tedious urban crossings where you will have to be extra vigilant with regard to traffic.

The history of the picturesque Bonne Fontaine chapel in Hoste began in 1799, when a Marian apparition occurred near a spring, in front of a deaf-mute child, who was cured. Other stories of healing quickly appeared and large pilgrimages were organized, in the context of the French Revolution, which did not appreciate these crowd movements. In 1848, a Calvary was erected, then the spring was developed. Finally, at the dawn of the First World War, the chapel was erected to receive the religious fervor aroused by this place steeped in both belief and legend.

The Hoste Bas pond borders the Hoste Haut pond. It was part of the Maginot Line defense system. Today, they are home to numerous species of fish, much to the delight of anglers.

The Welschof Pond is a little corner of paradise for fishermen and ducks. It was built in the 1930s to serve as a reservoir for the Maginot Line's defensive flood control system.

Excavation is difficult to find because it is overgrown and therefore completely unspectacular

Right on the border between France and Germany we find this lush forest that is worth exploring either on foot or by bike.
