St. Wendeler Land Railway Cycle Path near Türkismühle

Highlight • Cycleway

The new cycle path leads over the former Türkismühle - Hermeskeil railway line. At the moment (November 2021) the path is only partially finished. The section between Nohfelden and Sötern can be navigated quite well. Construction work will continue in spring 2022.

Source of the Nahe

Highlight • Natural Monument

This is where the 125 kilometer Nahe begins its journey to the Rhine. Up to the mouth in Bingen, it leaves 380 meters of altitude behind. The source is a nice place for a break. There is a playground in the immediate vicinity.

View of Bostalsee from the dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Bostalsee is a reservoir in the municipality of Nohfelden in northern Saarland, which was accumulated in 1979. The dam has a length of 500 meters. The lake is almost exclusively for recreational use. The dammed water power has been used to a limited extent since the end of 2013 to generate electricity, especially in order to illuminate the circular route around the lake during the winter months. The south-western part of the lake is designated as a nature reserve. There are two beach baths, a boat rental, petting zoo, bike rental, catering and much more.
