The Sauer is a roughly 70 km long tributary of the Rhine. It originates in the Palatinate Forest near the German-French border. On its way, it flows through the Northern Vosges and partly forms the border between Germany and France. It then crosses Alsace before flowing into the Rhine at Munchhausen. The Sauer has a catchment area of about 800 km² and an average discharge of around 6 m³ per second.

The road from the Förcher Kreisel to Ebersteinburg is still closed. You can get through the village or the construction site by bike. You should take advantage of it and ride up while it's still closed and there are no cars.

Highly recommended at the moment: Ebersteinburg town center closed due to construction (May 2025)! Therefore, very few cars! (Ask Google Maps if you can get through by car)

It's always worth heading over to France and exploring new routes. :) There are some very good bike paths there. I occasionally cycle to the neighboring country. :)

This is where the Sauer River, coming from the Vosges Mountains, flows into the Rhine. The estuary delta is a large floodplain with a wide variety of amphibians and birds – protected since 1997.
