Symbol of the inhabitants of Belfort below, this tower is more fragile than it seems. Bombed twice in the last two centuries, it has been rebuilt each time. With a fantastic view of the Etang des Forges, it is an excellent accompaniment to your run.

Tribute to the 20 soldiers of the 428th Pioneer Regiment who sacrificed their lives defending Fort de la Justice, Fort de la Justice, Belfort.

Fort de la Justice (also known as Fort Lecourbe) is part of the entrenched camp of Belfort. It was built in 1826 at the gates of the city, in order to accommodate around twenty artillery pieces in the open air. This bastioned fort, roughly rectangular, could accommodate about 300 men. During the Second World War, the garrison of Fort de la Justice resisted the enemy for 9 hours, causing 20 deaths. A commemorative plaque pays tribute to them. The fort is now abandoned; it is traversed by popular hiking trails.

An older and inaccessible fort in the northeast of the city - seems rather dilapidated.
