In view of the small sacred monument encountered here, some hikers may feel the need to pause for a moment before this cross. As a perhaps helpful thought, I would like to offer a few quotes from Christiane Völkel: + "Only when I give heaven space, when I entrust myself to it, can I also feel that it is working. This doesn't always go in the direction I wish, but it fills me with a sense of security and relaxation, of being in God, of being protected, or at least not being alone. Sometimes then, the certainty rises within me that heaven is reaching out to me. Not just to hold me, but so that I can place my despair and helplessness into its hands."

The Einseling fortification is a single-block fortified structure of the Maginot Line located in the fortified sector of Faulquemont, between the communes of Bambiderstroff and Longeville-lès-Saint-Avold. Its name comes from the Finselingerberg hill on which it is built. When it was projected by the CORF in the 1930s, the army used old German maps where the Gothic script annotations were misinterpreted: the F in Finseling was transformed into an E.

Mount Saint Pierre, also known as "Haut Saint Pierre" or "côte 325", is 30 minutes from Metz, near the town of Villers-Stoncourt. The name comes from the small chapel that is on the top of the hill, next to a small cemetery. In good weather you can enjoy a beautiful all-round view from here and look to the south-east as far as the Vosges (Donon).
