Saarschleife Cycling Route

Highlight • Cycleway

The cycle path on the right bank of the Saar is a varied alternative to the cycle path on the left bank of the Saar. The cycle path has a "natural surface" and is therefore a bit bumpy.

After about 3 km I noticed that I only started the app for the heart drive and not Komoot. As always, I drove my favorite path on the inner side of the Saarschleife, which unfortunately wasn't so easy to drive after all the rain. Anyway, I love this path, it's just a lot nicer. From Mettlach I drove to the …

Simple but very nice “pleasure tour”! Feasible with any bike, because the path along the Saar is partly paved. Change to the inner side of the Saar at Besseringen - from behind Besseringen then a fine gravel path directly along the banks of the Saar. Here wonderful views of the "Cloef" and the local observation tower. At some point there …

Thank God I knew the bridge in Besseringen and was standing under it when the thunderstorm started, which was directly above …

My bike appealed to me. It was sad because I would only take care of the hiking boots.
That affected me. 😉
