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.

August 15, 2025,MTB-Tour: Saarschleife

Saar Cycle Path: There are even small sections with trails – but also long stretches alongside the road, which isn't so great, otherwise it follows the river. The Saar Loop between Mettlach and Merzig is worth it.
