Stone by Miriam Karoly – Stones at the Border

Highlight • Monument

The path here on the Grenzlandrunde is very varied. Art on the edge, distant views of France, cow meadows, meadow orchards and wind turbines. Everything is well signposted and great to drive.

Saarschleife Cycling Route

Highlight • Cycleway

The cycle path on the right bank of the Saar is a varied alternative to the cycle path on the left bank of the Saar. The cycle path has a "natural surface" and is therefore a bit bumpy.
