Véloroute V52 en Moselle

CCSMS

The V52 cycle route crosses the Moselle region over 65 km, offering a journey between nature and heritage. Starting from Lagarde and its marina, the cycle route traverses the Étang du Stock, a world biosphere reserve, and then passes near the highest Freycinet lock in France at Réchicourt-le-Château. In Sarrebourg, an unmissable stop, the stained-glass windows of the Chapelle des Cordeliers, designed by Chagall, are a must-see. Following the banks of the Marne-Rhine Canal, the route winds through picturesque villages and forests to Arzviller, where the greenway of the Vallée des Éclusiers begins. The highlight of the trip is the Saint-Louis Arzviller Inclined Plane, an impressive structure, before a final Moselle stop in Lutzelbourg with its perched castle, heralding the entrance to Alsace.
