View of Hellendorf

Highlight • Viewpoint

You can really relax on a quiet tour of the Saargau. You should definitely drive from Hellendorf to Eft, because the source of the Leukbach is located in Eft.

After a relaxing seven-hour train ride from Merzig, we headed out of the Saar Valley, always slightly uphill. On the panoramic plateau, always along the border with France, we then descended through magnificent vineyards into the Moselle Valley. If the stiff breeze hadn't been blowing so hard from the front, it would have only been the actual elevation gain.

Had a very fat tour from Rehlingen-Siersburg to Remich today and met great, nice people. I'm happy to continue like this! ☺️
