View of Saarburg and Saarburg Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the bridge over the Saar you can enjoy an excellent view of the castle ruins and the St. Laurentius Church. But watch out for the traffic, because even if the main road across the Saar runs a little further south, a car will pass by here every now and then. For a photo, you'd better stop briefly on the bike path on the east bank. Here you are completely undisturbed.

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.

August 13, 2024,Von Saarlouis nach Konz – Saar-Radweg

The tire is still full and we're off to the next heat battle. The path is very well developed and leads through beautiful nature directly along the Saar. The highlight is of course the Saar loop. Unfortunately we don't have a great view because the path leads along the river below. Since there are many shady paths, the heat is …

Day 1 – From Dillingen/Saar to Trier
The day started quite well. By 9:00 a.m., the sun was already slightly up in the sky – a beautiful start to the first stage. From Dillingen/Saar, the route first descended to the river, the Saar. I skipped the town itself, as I wasn't particularly impressed with it yesterday.
Well-equipped – with a …

The 4th day of our cycle tour took us to Konz. There the Saar flows into the Moselle. The view of the Saar loop near Mettlach was the highlight of the tour. But until then, a few kilometers of ascent had to be overcome. Afternoon break in the historic center of Saarburg.
