Discover Buhl-Lorraine

When looking for a hotel in Buhl-Lorraine, it can help to first sort out the destination’s themes. Aviation, the Marne-Rhine Canal and sacred architectural history each offer a different focus. This can help you decide whether to plan your stay around flying or cultural attractions.

Waterway and civil airfield

Henry Metz airfield in Sarrebourg-Buhl is located within the municipality of Buhl-Lorraine. It bears the ICAO code LFGT and is a civil airfield open to public air traffic. The Marne-Rhine Canal runs through the municipality. These are two distinct points of reference: an airfield with civil status and a waterway that passes through Buhl-Lorraine. When planning your trip, you can therefore consider aviation and the canal as separate aspects of the town’s profile.

Aviation and flying activities

The airfield is used for leisure and tourism activities in recreational aviation and model flying. The Aéroclub de la région de Sarrebourg offers introductory flights, various flight training courses and scenic flights over the Vosges. The activities differ in focus: an introductory flight offers a first taste of flying, flight training is for learning to fly, and a scenic flight takes you over the Vosges. This lets you distinguish between the different types of aviation activities according to your interests, rather than viewing them as a single offering.

If you would like to include a flight in your trip plans, check with the Aéroclub before you arrive to find out which introductory or scenic flights are available on your dates. If you are interested in flight training, ask about the participation requirements as well. This will help you match the specific activity with your travel plans in advance.

Sacred architectural history and local geology

The Church of Saint Gall dates from 1743 and houses three rare 18th-century stucco altars. The year it was built places the church in its historical context, while the number and material of the altars give its interior a distinctive focus. Visitors interested in cultural history can therefore take a closer look at both the building and its special furnishings.

The Chapel of Saint-Pierre et Saint-Paul was built between 1859 and 1875. Educational panels at the chapel provide information about the local geology. This adds a natural history theme to the architectural history. The dates also differ: Saint Gall dates from a specific year, while the chapel’s construction is given as a period from 1859 to 1875.

The two sacred buildings also differ in their focus: at Saint Gall, the rare stucco altars take centre stage, while at the chapel, the focus is on explanations of the geology. This can help you choose between an interest in art history and learning about the local geology.
