Descripción

The Freyming-Merlebach quarry, within the Warndt massif is a new biotope where man, after destroying, now promotes the natural recolonization of places, without upsetting it. Located between the municipalities of L'Hôpital, Saint-Avold and Freyming-Merlebach along the Franco-German border, the old quarry of sandstone and sand runs alongside the natural space of the Warndt forest classified as Natura 2000 Network on the German side. It is the largest of the whole Lorraine coal basin. It is bordered on the south side of the old slag heap of the Sainte-Fontaine coal mine. Operated from 1920 to 20014 to fill the voids left by coal mining, it presents itself as a deep canyon, 7.5 km long and 850 m wide. The bottom is occupied by various bodies of water due to the rise of the water table and fed intermittently by the Doerrenbach (stream).

The best time of the year is spring when interesting species breed here: Búho Real, Halcón Peregrino, Avetorillo común, Avetoro Común, Buscarla Pintoja, Torcecuello Euroasiático, Alondra Totovía.
