This horseshoe shape hill is one of the best known viewpoints in the Lorraine region. This makes it a great spot for watching autumn bird migration.
The hill of Colline de Sion rises to an altitude of 540 meters, making it the highest point in the area. Because of its geographical location on an important migratory axis, the hill is an ideal point to observe the migration of birds. From the end of summer and throughout autumn, many bird species cross Lorraine. Most numerous species in autumn are Common Chaffinch, Brambling, Hawfinch, Eurasian Siskin and especially Common Wood Pigeon. Also good chances on Common Crane, Red Kite, Black Stork and many other bird species in lower numbers.
