This flood column can be seen right on the cycle path. It's quite impressive how high the Moselle can rise!

The route on the Moselle in France is well developed and signposted along the entire route. Since France also has decent WLAN FIWI everywhere, you can find everything that is possible. The Moselle is much less populated and very relaxing no matter where.

Metz Cathedral

Highlight • Other

The Saint-Étienne Cathedral (German: St. Stephen's Cathedral) in Metz in Lorraine was built between 1220 and 1520 and is considered one of the most beautiful and largest Gothic church buildings in France. With a vault height of more than 41 meters, it has the third highest interior after the cathedrals of Amiens and Beauvais; the area of its stained glass is around 6500 m², the largest in a French cathedral, hence the name La lanterne du Bon Dieu - English: "The Lantern of the Good Lord". It is therefore also one of the masterpieces of the Gothique Rayonnant. It is the episcopal church of the diocese of Metz. Since 1930, the cathedral has been classified as a monument historique (cultural monument) and protected.

Porte des Allemands and Metz Cathedral

Highlight • Historical Site

Metz was (like many of his neighbors in the Alsace-Lorraine region) at the mercy of the border regions. Metz changed several times his affiliation between the German and French empires. Until 1918 it still belonged to the German Empire, which is still recognizable in many buildings in the city and leads to a diversity in architecture. The train station is the best example of German architecture. Metz therefore offers you a beautiful old town center, a gothic cathedral that ranks among the highest in Europe, long Mosel promenades overlooking the architectural features of the city, museums and much more.

Hi Komoot'ler, here in Metz I wanted to cycle again. The V70 caught my eye in my map.
velo-territoires.org/actualite/2017/12/11/de-loire-a-mediterranee-v70-trace-sillage#
I followed the route for 25km and back on other paths along the canal. The river landscape in this area is uniquely beautiful and highly recommended. I didn't know anything about the V70 beforehand. Is a tip for all cyclists.
