Below you, the village of Ockfen nestles in its small side valley, while on the horizon – framed by vines – you can see the small town of Saarburg.

Here, the vineyards drop steeply to the fork of the Ockfener Bach stream. The green of the vines blends seamlessly into the forests of the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park. A beautiful spot.
