Saarschleife Lodge

Highlight • Rest Area

This section of the Saar is fascinating. Hiking, cycling, boat traffic, rail traffic and the usual road traffic lie side by side in a very small space without disturbing each other.

Highlight • Structure

Without the barrages, the Saar would not be navigable because the water level is too low.
