From here, you can get your first glimpse of the Saarschleife Treetop Walk. The route becomes increasingly beautiful from here, with a new highlight around every bend.

September 6, 2023,Fahrradtour Besseringen - Primsmündung

A route that I drive often. Most of the time - like today for example - with a stopover in the beer garden at the Rehlingen barrage. 🍺😊

Today we drove from the Drillinger lock to Merzig harbor and back on the other side. The stretch between Rehlingen and Saarlouis is still closed. But where we drove, a lot of the area had already been cleared. It was good to drive, apart from a few sandy sections.

The weather forecast showed a longer, dry window this morning. Then I gulliblely fell for it.

Since I put new tires on the gravel bike yesterday, I wanted to test them promptly.

Well, I got there dry until Merzig, but then a bigger rain front came.
A quick look at the weather app and the confidence of a short shower …

My bike ride from Siersburg to Mettlach unfortunately ended with a serious crash: komoot wanted to go from Bessringen via Sankt Gingolf to Mettlach, but I wanted to go along the Saarschleife. Even setting waypoints didn't get Komoot to do it. Every few meters, my iPhone prompted me to turn around. When I tried to mute it, I was distracted …

August 10, 2024,#07 - Saarland Schwemlingen nach Dillingen auf dem Saarradweg

Considering the heat, today we went on a flat tour along the Saar. The route was OK but not very varied. Dillingen didn't inspire us much either, only the ice cream at the break was good. We checked out the small natural pool in Merzig for Monday when it's over 30°C, so we can cool off there tomorrow.

June 9, 2025,(6) von Saarlouis nach Mettlach

Today, the Saar Cycle Path was our guide and led us via the Saar Loop directly to Mettlach.

The viewing platform rose above the Saar Loop, and below it, we could sense the possibility of rockfall. It was a good thing we were riding on the opposite side, although there were frequent warnings about rockfall here as well.
