Roman Villa Borg

Highlight • Historical Site

The Roman Villa Borg is a fascinating open-air archaeological museum. Built as a fully reconstructed villa rustica based on a Roman model, it provides visitors with an authentic picture of life in the Roman Empire. The complex features faithful replicas and archaeological finds that bring the past to life. A special highlight is the Roman tavern, where you can enjoy historical dishes. The workshops also offer unique insights into ancient craftsmanship, which you can experience up close.

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.

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.
