Rest bench with a view of the Saarschleife

Highlight • Viewpoint

The forest below and around Mont Clair Castle offer some good and challenging, but also flowing trails. A detour, just because of the castle and the view, is definitely worth it.

Saar Loop

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The Saar Loop is probably the most famous attraction in Saarland. You'll get a particularly impressive view from the vantage point above the valley, but it's simply beautiful down here too. You can drive right along the water, with the steep, wooded slopes of the nature reserve rising above you.

Fährhaus Saarschleife

Highlight • Restaurant

The restaurant 'Fährhaus' is a great refreshment stop with beer garden. For a quick coffee always good address.

Inner Loop With View of the Cloef

Highlight • Trail

The inner loop is not quite as good of a surface. But there is less going on here. I really enjoy driving both sides of the Saar, not just the outer one.

Mettlach Lock

Highlight • Structure

Without the barrages, the Saar would not be navigable because the water level is too low.

September 1, 2024,Epische Sonnenaufgangs Tour an der Cloef😍🌄

We got up really early to experience an epic sunrise at the Cloef.
It was amazing. We started in the dark with our great lamps and were at the Cloef before sunrise.
