Bitche town center

Highlight • Other

Bitche is located in the Moselle department and had about 4950 inhabitants in 2019. Two snakes are depicted in the city's coat of arms and that's why the motto is: Je mords derrière comme devant.

Steep ascent to the Citadel

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

If you're interested in history, a visit here is worthwhile. A lot of the war is explained in film, with pictures, and with texts. I personally found it very interesting.

Nice flat circular walk along the moat of the fortress with a good view of Bitche and its surroundings and a view of the fortress walls.

The walk around the fortress gives a good view of Bitche and the surrounding area. The fortress itself is quite clear and gives an insight into the fortress construction according to Marquis de Vauban.
