Natural surroundings

Excellent hiking!

Hiking is always fun – at least in Saarland, any way! Germany’s best hiking trails can be found here. Saarland, nestled in between France and Luxembourg, was tailor-made for hikers. It offers both excellent cuisine and a diverse landscape.

The premium hiking trails are circular routes that have been carefully chosen to include the most beautiful landscapes in Saarland. They offer according to specific landscape criteria, so that the beauty of Nature and the dramatic scenery may be felt in full. Natural silence, majestic views, natural forest gardens and fields, valleys and canyons, rocks and rippling steams can all be found here.

Merzig Wolf Park

Here you can take a once in a lifetime opportunity to have an up-close encounter with a normally reclusive predator. Come get an insight into the striking research study of Werner Freund, who has worked intensively with wolves for nearly 30 years and has lived as a “wolf among wolves.”

The Saar River Bend

From the “Cloef” overlook, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the nature preserve known as the Saar River Bend. Wild and Romantic hiking trails between plunging cliffs (*Michi, is it hiking or cliffs?) as well as an unparalleled panorama entice you to linger and explore.

Cruise ships between Mettlach and Dreisbach also run along the Saar river. If you choose to take a ride on one of them, you’ll get an entirely different perspective on the Saar River Bend.

Losheim Railroad Museum

Here’s a unique attraction in Saarland: The Steam-Powered Mobile Museum that runs between Merzig and Losheim. Whether you’re a railroad enthusiast or not, the pounding and whistling of this painstakingly restored steam engine is sure to cause you’re heart to race! The railroad line is around 15 kilometers long and it runs through some of the most diverse and beautiful landscapes in all of Saarland!
