The best walks and hikes around Andelnach

I noticed this highlight during my search. However, it is not on the Haute Saône Canal but on an independent river, the Savoureuse. According to Wikipedia: The Savoureuse is a right tributary of the Allan, around 41 kilometers long, in the French department of Territoire de Belfort in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. It flows through the city of Belfort and drains the western part of the department to the Mediterranean via the Allan, Doubs, Saône and Rhône water system. The Savoureuse catchment area covers an area of around 225 km². The river name comes from the Patois expression savour (saw). https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savoureuse

Memorial to the fallen of the two world wars 🕊️

Beautiful cycle route Coulée Verte along the canal. The name is a bit..., I suggested a change on Komoot.

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what prompted people to erect “their” cross at this point. (...) These wayside crosses were erected as visible signs and attract the attention of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has overcome death (...). The cross is part of our life as it was in the life of Jesus. So I wish that many people … visit the crosses, whether as places of stillness and breathing space before God, whether as places for community gatherings, prayer and praise to God.” (Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig in: "Crossroads... small sacred monuments as a sign of popular piety")

The first mention of the name Bellemonte dates from 1147, in a charter confirming the possession of the church to the priory of Lanthenans (Doubs). From this period, the current parish church, dedicated to Saint Lawrence, only retains part of the choir, a polygonal apse in Romanesque style. This building, which dominates the Savoureuse valley, is an important landmark for local users of the A36 motorway.

Fort du Bois-d'Oye, also called Fort de Bermont (because it is located in the town of Bermont) and briefly Fort Eblé (its name Boulanger in honor of General Jean-Baptiste Eblé), was built between 1883 and 1887 by the company Adrien Hallier. It is a work that is part of the fortifications of eastern France of the Séré de Rivières type. It is an integral part of the stronghold of Belfort.

It was built from 1883 to 1886 by the Adrien Hallier company and takes its name Boulanger from the General of the Empire, Michel Ordener. Fort Ordener was built at the same time and with the aim of covering Fort Bessoncourt. Its role was to control the roads coming from Switzerland as well as the Mulhouse railway. From 1893 this fort was connected to a number of other forts around Belfort by a strategic railway. During the two World Wars Fort Ordener was inactive. It will then be used as an ammunition depot for the army. Fort Ordener was bought by the municipality of Vézelois in 1999. The association "Le Renouveau du Fort de Vézelois" takes care of the restoration and communication around the fort.
