August 6, 2025, Border Path with Historic Boundary Stones (N 55) – Westlich Berus

The 7km hike, which is signposted with the European Star-Spangled Banner and partially follows the longer "Beruser Tafeltour," leads on both sides of the German-French border along gravel paths over the rounded ridges of the Saargau region, offering beautiful views that are slightly hazy in autumn, and along pleasant paths through wooded sections. Highlights include the Europa transmitter with its broadcasting hall and six transmission masts (not open to the public), the Oranna Chapel, a Marian grotto in Berviller, and the Europa Monument.
