The Saar (French Sarre, Latin Saravus, Luxembourgish Saar) is a river flowing approximately northward in Alsace and Lorraine, as well as in the German states of Saarland and Rhineland-Palatinate. With a flow distance of 235 kilometers, it is the longest tributary of the Moselle; its catchment area covers 7431 square kilometers, which is about three times the area of Saarland (2569.69 km²).

Very close to the border with Germany we find this impressive forest of Mount Saint Croix that is worth exploring either on foot or by bike!

A beautiful zoo that is very spacious. So large that not every enclosure had an animal to see. But that shows me that the animals also have places to retreat to, so that is a positive thing
