Description
33km | 3 countries | no borders
Welcome to the M³-Trail in the borderless tri-country area. Discover the German-French-Luxembourgish border region with its very special charm and its eventful history over 33 kilometers.
Harsh war years, countless border shifts, power struggles, negotiations, and agreements have shaped the border area and its people over centuries. Upon closer inspection, the natural landscape still reveals the scars of this time with trenches, overgrown tank barriers, bomb craters, and hidden bunkers.
Thanks to the Schengen Agreement, the region has now grown into a borderless, shared living and cultural space. The M³-Trail offers the opportunity to get to know this shared living and cultural space, its people, and its history. Especially exciting stops include the European Museum in Schengen, the Château des Ducs de Lorraine in Sierck les Bains, and the German-French Peace Chapel near Perl.
