Cycle path bridge over the Savoureuse

Highlight • Bridge

Relatively new railway cycle path and beautiful restored bridge.
The bollards are a bit too close together, but I still managed to get through.

Lion of Belfort

Highlight • Monument

It is a monumental sculpture from 1880 created by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, the sculptor of the Statue of Liberty. Completed in 1880, it is entirely made of red sandstone. The blocks that make it up were sculpted individually, then moved to the cliff below Belfort Castle to be assembled there. Twenty-two meters long and 11 meters high, the colossal work dominates the local landscape.

Saint Christopher Cathedral

Highlight • Other

In 1930 the church was listed as Monument historique. In 1952, it was by Pope Pius XII. the title of a Basilica minor awarded. With the creation of the diocese of Belfort-Montbéliard, the church was elevated to a cathedral in 1979. Wikipedia

Malsaucy cycling link

Highlight • Forest

One of the many French greenways. Previously called Promenade François Mitterrand, this pretty Voie Verte first crosses the center of Belfort from south to north, along the Savoureuse river, then it crosses Valdoie, before crossing a rural and wooded area, up to Malsaucy lake , where a large natural recreation area is located.

Ballon d'Alsace

Highlight • Natural Monument

Here René Pottier conquered the first pass of the Tour de France on July 11, 1905. The Ballon d'Alsace then remained unrivaled for five years - until the much harder passes in the Pyrenees were discovered.

At 1,247 meters, the pass is by no means the highest in the Vosges and today no one would include it on the list of important passes - but there is still a certain magic about it.

In the north of Belfort, this bridge allows you to cross the Savoureuse. You can see the river descending in steps.
