Tips from the Community

Hans Günter
May 27, 2026, Former Glantal Railway Track

A scenically beautiful cycle path (Glan-Blies-Weg, approx. 130 km) from Forbach in Lorraine to Staudernheim. Hardly any inclines, almost entirely paved, only finely gravelled between Homburg-Bruchhof and Glan-Münchweiler.
