Saar Riverside Trail

Highlight • Cycleway

The Saar cycle path is really easy to ride. From Konz, you can follow the Saar from the mouth of the Saar into the Moselle to Sarreguemines. The towpath then follows the Saarkohle Canal.

Mettlach Lock

Highlight • Structure

Without the barrages, the Saar would not be navigable because the water level is too low.

Mettlach Lock and Weir

Highlight • Structure

In addition to the neighboring bridge in Mettlach, the Saarschleuse offers an additional opportunity to cross the Saar. This allows hikers and cyclists additional route combinations.

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.

Riverside path and suspension bridge in Saarhölzbach

Highlight • Bridge

Saarholzbach is on the Saar and has a nice pedestrian bridge. But otherwise this is a "completely normal" place with no special charm. The riverside path in this section is typical of the Saarweg.

Saarhölzbach Pedestrian Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge was completely renovated in 2016/2017, because about 30 years after the bridge was built, it was no longer up to date. The bridge is a popular crossing from Saarholzbach in the middle of nature on the Saar.
