A point of cultural interest, very violent fighting took place during WW2, in order to cross the Moselle, with more than 945 GIs killed. Beautiful explanatory plaques can be seen on the way back down.
They explain the course of this battle, nicknamed the Omaha Moselle.
Enjoy the ride!

Natif de ce magnifique village de la vallée de Moselle près de Metz, je recommande fortement ce véritable mur mosellan, qui en ferait pâlir le Gramont.
Que ce soit a pied ou en vélo, vos jambes vont chauffer, en prime un beau lavoir potable vous attend au 2/3 de l'ascension.

Si vous êtes de passage, ceci est un très beau défi pour vous, les plus téméraire pouvant monter en VTT à la Croix St Clément en continuant tout droit le parcours.

Point culturel, de très violents combat ont eu lieu lors de la WW2, afin de traverser la Moselle, plus de 945 GI's morts, de belles plaquettes explicatives sont a voir sur le retour en descente.
Elle explique le déroulé de cette bataille, surnommée l'Omaha Mosellane.
Amusez vous bien !
