The route allows you to access the source of the Halberg by following the markings. A good spot to cool off.

Inaugurated in May 1970, this monument is intended to "express the European-democratic attitude of the border population on both sides of the border." The two pylons represent the countries of Germany and France, which have been at war with each other for centuries. The metal bars in the upper area symbolize the friendship that developed after the Second World War.

What happened here? As soon as it becomes an official part of a dream loop, the path is cleared. Twice as wide as before and twice as high. No more ducking! 😬

A popular viewing point and at the same time a landmark of the municipality of Überherrn is the monument 'For the Great Europeans' (in short: Europe Monument) in Berus. In 1970 it was erected here on one of the highest points in the entire region on the initiative of the former Saarland Finance Minister and Überherrn citizen Helmut Bulle by the 'Association for the Erection of a Monument for the Great Europeans' as a symbol of German-French reconciliation. On July 2, 1966, former Chancellor Konrad Adenauer broke ground. The monument with a memorial plaque for the statesmen Konrad Adenauer, Robert Schuman and Alcide de Gasperi was unveiled in May 1970. Helmut Bulle, Josef Besch and Paul Henri Spaak are other personalities who have been honored with a plaque. The wide view over the valleys and forests of Lorraine and the wonderful view over the Saar valley invite you to admire the border region ‘at a glance’.🚵♂️🌄
