Lutwinus Chapel with View of the Saartal

Highlight • Religious Site

The Lutwinus Chapel is in the middle of the forest. A small visit is worthwhile here, because it is not only the enchanted place and the chapel itself, which fascinate, but also the beautiful view of the Saar Valley.

Schengen European Museum and Border Monuments

Highlight • Monument

The German section of the Way of St. James ends in Perl at the border triangle if you are coming from Cologne (via Prüm, Echternach and Trier, among others) on your pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. And - despite the Schengen Agreement with freedom of travel and the abolition of border controls, which this monument commemorates - the pilgrim's passport is still an important document on the way :-)

Crossing into Luxembourg

Highlight • Monument

Schengen is located right in the border triangle of France, Germany and Luxembourg. Schengen became a synonym for an area without border controls when, on June 14, 1985, five EU member states signed the Schengen Agreement on the anchored passenger ship MS "Princesse Marie-Astrid", which provides for the abolition of controls at the common borders and the introduction of the free movement of people and goods (Wikipedia).

Roman Villa Borg

Highlight • Historical Site

The Roman Villa Borg is a fascinating open-air archaeological museum. Built as a fully reconstructed villa rustica based on a Roman model, it provides visitors with an authentic picture of life in the Roman Empire. The complex features faithful replicas and archaeological finds that bring the past to life. A special highlight is the Roman tavern, where you can enjoy historical dishes. The workshops also offer unique insights into ancient craftsmanship, which you can experience up close.

July 31, 2022,E-Velo-Tour: Mosel-Saar - leicht verkürzt

Nice tour, but we had to skip the highlight of the tour. The DM of E-MTBs took place at the Saarschleife in Orscholz. We didn't want to intervene directly in the race. But even without the top view, it was a nice tour on which you only meet a few cyclists.

Well, I've put together a wonderful tour!!! 👌🏻😇🤓😂

Beautifully hilly and along wide fields, beautiful to Schengen/LUX.

Then a detour through the vineyards near Wintrage and Wellenstein - very beautiful.

Back along the Moselle to Remich and then over to D.
