Geography

The village is the meeting point of several roads, the largest of them being the Route Nationale RN61 (Phalsbourg-Saarbrücken). TheA4 Autoroute(E25) passes to the east, at which point the village hosts aservice areaand there are a couple of bridges overlooking the autoroute, but there is no road access to the highway: junctions 42 and 43 are approximately ten kilometres (six miles) to the north and south respectively. The village does, however, have its own station on the localrailwayline.
