We left Metz this morning, one day earlier than we first had planned. The reason we decided to move on earlier is that we wanted to revisit one of our favorite towns so far on our road trip – Saarburg. But we did plan two stops along the route, first one being […]
After a short stop yesterday at Fort Casso we continued the day’s adventure to the small town of Bitche. It was not the name of the town that attracted us to visit, rather the fact that there is a large citadel on top of a hill. Bitche: Climbing Yet Another […]
