The Saar (French Sarre, Latin Saravus, Luxembourgish Saar) is a river flowing approximately northward in Alsace and Lorraine, as well as in the German states of Saarland and Rhineland-Palatinate. With a flow distance of 235 kilometers, it is the longest tributary of the Moselle; its catchment area covers 7431 square kilometers, which is about three times the area of Saarland (2569.69 km²).

The fishing hut on the grounds of the Bous Angling Club is an ideal starting point for the Bous Trail: Here you'll find a large overview sign showing the route (both the short and long trails), and you're immediately out in nature by the water. It's a peaceful place to arrive – and later a lovely destination when the loop ends back at the Bommersbach stream/pond. If you'd like to stop for refreshments: According to the club, the fishing hut is currently only open on a limited basis; it's best to check the current opening hours with the ASV (Angling Club). https://www.asv-bous.de/fischerhuette/

A perfect stop for a bike tour along the Saar River. An overnight stay at the Leonardo Hotel is recommended.

Gut Hartungshof near Bliesransbach is located approximately 12 km from Saarbrücken and is part of the UNESCO-recognized Bliesgau Biosphere Reserve. It is known for the production and sale of beef. The history of the Hartungshof farm dates back to the 19th century. The estate includes the following areas: An agricultural operation, forestry, energy management in the field of renewable energies, an herb garden, and a farm shop. A visit to explore the estate, shop for local produce, and enjoy a panoramic view of the Bliesgau lowlands is definitely worthwhile.
