Very relaxing. Not necessarily recommended for small children, though, because of the water. 😁

It's best to come after heavy rain, then the weirs are opened and you have a touch of Niagara😉.

The Saar Cycle Path (Saarradweg) is well-developed throughout. You can follow it from the mouth of the Saar into the Moselle near Konz to Gondrexange in Alsace. There it joins the Rhine-Marne Canal. Behind Saargemünd, however, the path follows the Saar-Coal Canal and no longer the Saar.

From here you can get to the city center along the old arm of the Saar without traffic.
