Saarschleife Lodge

Highlight • Rest Area

This section of the Saar is fascinating. Hiking, cycling, boat traffic, rail traffic and the usual road traffic lie side by side in a very small space without disturbing each other.

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 …

View of the Cloef

Highlight • Viewpoint

It is particularly impressive early in the morning when the Saarschleife is still in the shade, but the Cloef is already illuminated by the sun.

Saarhölzbach Pedestrian Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge was completely renovated in 2016/2017, because about 30 years after the bridge was built, it was no longer up to date. The bridge is a popular crossing from Saarholzbach in the middle of nature on the Saar.
