Saar Cycle Path: Merzig to the Mouth of the Nied

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

From Merzig to the Nied estuary. The path is not ideal (expansion joints) but easy to drive.

The Nied is one of the few natural bodies of water. Apart from a few weirs, the Nied is barrier-free. The water is unofficially of bathing quality. From the mouth of the Nied to the Wackenmühle, there are good cycling and hiking trails on both sides through a beautiful, unspoilt landscape, which only a few roads cross over bridges.

The official starting point of the tour is usually at the Stadthalle in Merzig!
However, I started at the barrage in Rehlingen. There are plenty of parking spaces and at the end of the tour you can drink something delicious in the beer garden at the barrage. 🍻

On today's tour, I followed the bike paths. Signage wasn't everywhere, so I took two wrong turns. The tour isn't exactly a highlight, but it was fun.

You can start and finish at the parking lot in front of Merzig Town Hall.

There are two climbs along the way, but they're manageable. Definitely with an e-bike.
