Of the original 17 city gates, only the German Gate in the east remains. Named after the former hospital of the Teutonic Order, which stood nearby, it was built as an entrance to the city on a bridge over the Seuille River. A medieval structure straight out of a picture book.

This beautiful rest area with its quaint sculptures is located directly in front of the bridge over the Nied River near Freistoff. Crossing the bridge, there's also a "regular" rest area on the other side of the Nied River.

⛪ **Saint-Croix Abbey in Bouzonville – Monastic Tradition with a Rich History** The **Saint-Croix Abbey** in **Bouzonville** is one of the oldest monastic complexes in the region. Founded in the **11th century**, it was a spiritual center between the Moselle and Saar rivers for centuries. The Romanesque-Gothic architecture of the monastery church has been rebuilt and restored several times, but its origins remain. 📜 After its dissolution during the French Revolution, the monastery was partially destroyed but later returned to religious use. Today, it is inhabited by a **Benedictine community** that welcomes visitors. **Tip:** The simple, spiritual atmosphere of the complex invites you to pause for a moment. Ideal for a quiet stroll or a quick visit to the monastery shop – featuring handmade products made by the nuns.

The road is superbly paved and therefore a great ride. But be careful, some of the bends are tight and blind!
