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.

July 6, 2024,Mal wieder, auf ein Eis nach Mettlach ☺️

OK, a coffee at the dam is a must ☺️ Although it was the first time that I sat in the beer garden all alone 🙈
Always a nice walk, through the Lückner and along the Saar.

The fact that you ONLY have a headwind on a lap, even uphill, doesn't really make the ride enjoyable. And I already know that the people of Merzig don't learn to make a proper detour for cyclists, but this time it's from Mettlach, to the right of the Saar near the harbor, once again very crappy... 🙈🙉🙊
