View of Vogelfelsen

Highlight • Viewpoint

The bird rock can not only be admired from the Saar side. Like the Saar Valley, it can also be admired from a viewing platform that was built in the late 1950s. However, this requires an access via Saarhölzbach.

View of Taben-Rodt Quarry

Highlight • Structure

The quarry is very impressive. Quartzite is mined here right next to the road and railway line.
In terms of color, it could also look like this on Mars.

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.
