Stromberg, Natural summit in Grand Est, France.
Stromberg is a mountain summit reaching 314 meters in an elliptical shape, positioned along the French-Luxembourg border in the Moselle department. Two telecommunications towers occupy the peak, delivering network coverage to the surrounding communities of Schengen and Contz-les-Bains.
The site has long served as a natural boundary between France and Luxembourg. Protection measures began on both sides starting in 1993 to preserve the area.
Residents of Contz-les-Bains practice a tradition of rolling a flaming wheel down the slope on Saint John's Eve to predict the wine harvest outcome. This ancient ritual ties the local community to their wine-growing heritage and the seasonal cycle.
Walking paths on the hill are accessible and offer views of the Moselle valley and border region. Allow time to reach the peak where the telecommunications towers stand and take in the surroundings.
This formation is a remnant hill isolated by deep ravines on its western and northern sides. The Moselle River flows along its southern and eastern base, creating a distinctive geographical setting.
