Saargemünd (French: Sarreguemines) is a must-see. Alone the view directly from the bike path shows interesting buildings. The city is definitely worth visiting.

From the cycle path, you can see the old Saar barges. These were built between the two world wars. They were previously pulled by hand on the canals and rivers; they were said to be towed (hence the name towpaths), now rehabilitated as cycle paths.

Sarreguemines is distinguished by its rich industrial and artisanal past. Renowned for its pottery, it houses a museum dedicated to this art, testifying to its centuries-old expertise. Crossed by the Saar River, the town offers a picturesque setting with its landscaped banks and historic center, which blends traditional architecture with industrial remains.

The state capital. If there is flooding you will have to find another route :-)

Beautiful and interesting city. Just driving through here on the Saarweg wouldn't do the city justice.
