You're absolutely right – the tower in the picture is clearly made of metal, not wood. Thanks for pointing that out. Here's the corrected version: --- 🗼 Observation tower near Pierrevillers – A steel view Rising in the middle of the forest near Pierrevillers, a metal observation tower, with its open structure, offers a panoramic view of the Moselle Valley, the surrounding hills, and, on a clear day, even as far as Luxembourg. 🔩 The solid steel structure is accessible via several platforms and stairs and, despite its height, appears delicately embedded in the natural surroundings. **Tip:** Ideal in good weather – the view from the top is worth every climb and is perfect for a quiet moment or impressive photos.

🌾 **Étang du Tivoli – Nature Break near Volmerange-les-Mines (Wallingen)** The **Étang du Tivoli** is quietly located on the edge of **Volmerange-les-Mines** (German: **Wallingen**) – a small, natural pond surrounded by meadows, field paths, and sparsely scattered trees. 🐦 The spot is a popular stopover for walkers and cyclists, often visited by herons, ducks, and other waterfowl. A small bench invites you to rest with a view over the water. **Tip:** Ideal for a quiet break on a tour through the Lorraine border region – especially beautiful at sunrise or late evening light.

🏰 Thionville – A Border Town with History on the Moselle Thionville (German: Diedenhofen) is located in northeastern France, not far from the borders with Germany and Luxembourg. The city looks back on a turbulent past – between the Romans, the Lorrainers, the Prussians, and the French. Numerous buildings still bear witness to this turbulent history: the medieval fortress, the Tour aux Puces (a former keep, now a museum), and the neoclassical buildings in the city center. 🚶♂️ Thionville is a starting point for exploring the Moselle Valley, visiting castles like the Château de Malbrouck, or natural sites like the Stromberg with its caves and rock formations. 🛤️ Due to its location on the Moselle River and its proximity to Luxembourg, Thionville is also an important transportation hub today – but as soon as you leave the city, you're immersed in a tranquil, green landscape full of cultural and historical discoveries.

Standing 25 metres high and at an altitude of 390 metres, the Drince Tower offers a view of the Metz urban area and its surroundings. In good weather, you can even see the Ardennes, Luxembourg and Belgium. A beautiful view to relax after the climb.
