View of Château de Malbrouck

Highlight • Viewpoint

Malbrouck Castle, also called Meinsberg Castle, is a completely renovated (!!!) medieval castle complex in Manderen in the French department of Moselle in the historic Lorraine region, not far from the border with Germany. From up here you can enjoy the view over the valley and the castle. The castle is named after the Duke of Marlborough, who made his main base here for a few weeks during the War of the Spanish Succession.
In the 1990s, an unprecedented reconstruction effort began here, turning the largely weathered ruin into a film-worthy model chateau. That certainly wasn't cheap...

Moselle Bridge Between Perl and Schengen

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge is a very special place in the border triangle of Germany, France and Luxembourg. It connects the Saarland town of Perl with Schengen in Luxembourg. Schengen is known for the agreement of the same name, which was signed here in 1985 and laid the foundation for open borders in Europe.🇪🇺

Among other things, the Europaplatz, a Europamuseum and a Europadenkmal are reminders of the historical importance of the place. Everything can be found very close to the bridge.

Crossing into Luxembourg

Highlight • Monument

Schengen is located right in the border triangle of France, Germany and Luxembourg. Schengen became a synonym for an area without border controls when, on June 14, 1985, five EU member states signed the Schengen Agreement on the anchored passenger ship MS "Princesse Marie-Astrid", which provides for the abolition of controls at the common borders and the introduction of the free movement of people and goods (Wikipedia).

Schengen Agreement Monument

Highlight • Monument

The German section of the Way of St. James ends at the border triangle in Perl, if you come from Cologne (including via Prüm, Echternach and Trier) on a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. And - despite the Schengen Agreement with freedom of travel and the abolition of border controls, which this memorial commemorates - the pilgrim's pass is still an important document on the way :-)

Moselle Bridge Remich–Nennig

Highlight • Bridge

The Moselle bridge Nennig - Remich transfers the B 406 federal road between the German community Nennig and the Luxembourg community Remich over the Moselle, a busy shipping route with large pleasure boat traffic at this point. The prestressed concrete structure was built from 1957 to 1959 with spans between 24.70 m and 51 m (total length 232 m). The superstructure consists of a single-cell box girder in fields 1 and 2 and above supports 2 to 5, and in fields 3 to 6 of a double-bar, haunched T-beam
