View of the Saarpolygon

Highlight • Viewpoint

One would think that on this route, the Saarpolygon, located on the large spoil heap, would be 'omnipresent' and visible from many spots. Unfortunately, this isn't the case, as it is either obscured by hills or forests. Even along Hülzweilerstraße, it's hard to get a good glimpse because it's already obscured by the spoil heap itself.

Elm-Sprengen War Cemetery

Highlight • Historical Site

The largest honorary cemetery in Saarland. 2,460 dead rest here, including 1,510 fallen German soldiers and civilian war victims. 950 war dead come from other nations. They were mostly forced laborers and prisoners of war.

The cemetery lies within a former chain of bunkers of what was then the West Wall. Three large stone crosses stand on a blown up bunker at the back of the complex.

Wonderful rest area on the beautiful pond with economy. Definitely stop for a drink. However, there is no food, only snacks.
