Cycling

The Wendelinus Cycle Path is named after Saint Wendelin, the patron saint of farmers and shepherds, whose work is closely linked to the region around Sankt Wendel. You start in Oberthal and follow the former railway line through the hilly landscape of northern Saarland.

A worthwhile detour takes you to the Celtic archaeological site near Otzenhausen. There you can immerse yourself in the fascinating world of the Celts and discover the remains of an impressive fortification.

Back on the main route, you continue towards Sankt Wendel. Expansive views abound, including those of Liebenburg Castle, which towers picturesquely above the valley. The tour ends in the lively town of Sankt Wendel – here you can round off your trip with a café visit or a short stroll through the town.
