Dam through the pond

Highlight • Other

The cool thing about the Étang du Welschhof is that the path leads over a dam right through the pond. Further up there is a small floating bridge.

The Welschof Pond is a little corner of paradise for fishermen and ducks. It was built in the 1930s to serve as a reservoir for the Maginot Line's defensive flood control system.

March 8, 2025,Runde von Sarralbe

first relaxing ride for 2025, starting from the car park of Sarralbe to the Etang du Welschhof, to Saareguemines, then between the Saar and the Saarkohlekanal back to Sarralbe

My favorite bike tour, wonderful lakes, Hambacher Weiher, Etang de Welschhof, Etang de Marrais, Hirbacher Weiher. Beautiful landscape to Saaralbe. Back on the Saar-Kohle Canal. The meters in altitude are not correct, the route has few inclines, approx. 200 m in height.

Was a pleasant and beautiful round trip with the tandem. Many paved forest paths and quiet side roads. Was a new way for us to come to the Café de la Mairie.

Very nice, leisurely bike tour from Saareguemines to Saaralbe along the Saar-Coal Canal and from Saaralbe over the Weiher cycle path (Iternaire aux lacs) via Holving, Puttelange aux lacs, Grundviller back to Saareguemines. Attention: the Pont Canal near Saaralbe is currently closed for driving over and under. We cheated our way through it😆

In weather that was "not as nice as reported", we first went from Saarreguemines-Rémelfing along the Saar-Coal Canal to Saarealbe with the obligatory stop at the "Croco". Shortly after Saarealbe we left the canal in the direction of Puttelange-aux-lacs and finally back via Hambach to Saareguemines.
