Saar Loop

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The Saar Loop is probably the most famous attraction in Saarland. You'll get a particularly impressive view from the vantage point above the valley, but it's simply beautiful down here …

Lutwinus Chapel with View of the Saartal

Highlight • Religious Site

The Lutwinus Chapel is in the middle of the forest. A small visit is worthwhile here, because it is not only the enchanted place and the chapel itself, which fascinate, but also the beautiful view of the Saar Valley.

Nice view of the wide river basin, surrounded by the view of the city of Konz. At the junction, there are larger meadows with benches on the bank. These can be reached by bike on the Saar cycle path.

March 26, 2024,Saarradweg Saarlouis - Saarmündung bei Konz am 26.03.2024

Since we discovered that the first 18 km only ran next to the A8, we decided at short notice to bridge the route by train, which was a good decision. The start in Merzig was bumpy because there was a major construction site in the city. Hence the “lap of honor”. Conclusion: There are nicer bike paths. We wouldn't recommend …

Here we switched to the left bank, in time to marvel at the Saar loop near Steinbach. Afterwards we went to Mettlach and up to the Lutwinus chapel with a …

Today we took a relaxed tour along the Saar from Beckingen to Konz and back by train. There are no photos because I didn't feel like stopping to take photos and then rushing after the other passengers.
Unfortunately we have to drive along the B 51 from Mettlach towards Saarhölzbach because the other side of the Saar is closed due …
