If you're traveling to Saarland, a visit to the Völklinger Hütte World Heritage Site is a must—especially if you're into the relics of the mining industry with their morbid charm.

I've forgotten the first few hundred meters since then. A very interesting industrial monument. In total we were on the road for a good three hours.
