Saar Coal Canal at Dieding

Highlight • Cycleway

The Saar coal mine canal owes its name to its origins. It was created to transport coal from the Saarbrücken deposit. It joins the Marne-Rhine canal at Gondrexange. These two canals are now bordered by the EuroVelo 5 cycle path.

Sarreguemines Riverside Promenade

Highlight • River

Saargemünd (French: Sarreguemines) is a must-see. Alone the view directly from the bike path shows interesting buildings. The city is definitely worth visiting.

The Saar

Highlight • River

The Saar is an emblematic river of the cross-border region that includes Lorraine and the German state of Saarland, to which it has visibly given its name. At this point, it is possible to observe it in one of the main towns of the valley, Sarreguemines.

Harbor of the old Saar barges

Highlight • Other

From the cycle path, you can see the old Saar barges. These were built between the two world wars. They were previously pulled by hand on the canals and rivers; they were said to be towed (hence the name towpaths), now rehabilitated as cycle paths.

Lock 30 (Saar Canal)

Highlight • Structure

This point on the canal offers a tranquil atmosphere, with its calm waters and shaded banks, perfect for a walk or cycle ride. The lock itself adds a touch of heritage to the natural setting. The passage of boats through the lock gently punctuates the life of the canal.

July 9, 2023,2023-07-09 ab Güdingen an der Saar und am Kanal entlang bis nach Wittring

The heat was bearable on the bike and on the almost flat route. In Wittringen, our fulcrum, the bar was closed and we had to beg from a private Kranenberger household...water supplies were too tight.

Watch out!!!!
At the beginning, komoot navigated us through the hedges.
That was nothing.

Today was a somewhat rainy day with a sunny ending. But we still found accommodation. We easily spotted 5 of this year's 54 stork nests in the village.
