Through the Ages

CTurpin_SarregueminesTourisme

On site, you will find the trail under the following name: AU FIL DES ÉPOQUES

The route introduces you to several remarkable buildings in the village of Rémelfing, including the former Edouard Jaunez castle (former mayor of Sarreguemines and member of the Geiger family), which is the starting point of your journey. The castle, a true local heritage treasure dating back to 1891, has been beautifully restored.

This 9.4 km loop takes you on a lovely hike, partly along the banks of the Saar River on the towpath. The trail then leads you into the forests of Honigwald, Grossbannwald, and Grand Freiwald. At the edge of the latter, you can admire two remarkable trees, the service tree and the wild service tree, by making a short detour from the main route.

On your way, you will discover beautiful panoramas, as well as two remarkable boundary markers from 1739 and 1766 located at crossroads.

After a few kilometers, you will reach a beautiful viewpoint at two boundary markers from the 18th century, which once marked the border of the Duchy of Lorraine with the territory of the Count of Nassau-Saarbrücken.
At the end of your hike, heading towards the Rémelfing town hall, you will find a picnic area by the Saar River, ideal for a well-deserved break.
