Explanations in French along the route make it easier to appreciate the surroundings

A hike that will take you to one of the most beautiful places in the Saarland: the Saar Loop.

A walk around the Saar Loop near Mettlach, one of the Saarland’s most famous attractions. The route takes you from the “WELLES” ferry across the Mettlach lock up to the treetop walk and back in a loop to your starting point.

Circular Sarre: it goes up and down. A short boat trip across the Sarre during the hike for a few euros. A magnificent spot, you can grab a drink at a bar by the water and then set off again. Really very nice.

This beautiful hike takes you on a journey of discovery along a magnificent bend in the Saar River, starting from the Cloef Atrium car park in Orsholz (part of the municipality of Mettlach). The route gradually descends to the viewpoint and then to the riverbank before climbing back up to the starting point, all within a splendid forest setting.

The heights of the Saargau above Wehingen can be reached via the slopes of the Kewelsberg through a sea of green limestone. After the descent, there are numerous old orchards, unspoilt stream valleys with clear, bubbling streams and sunken paths in extensive wooded areas.

This route, mostly through woodland, will take you on a tour of the Manderen Valley. Malbrouck Castle, a landmark of the Three Borders region and the Manderen Valley, will be the final stop on this walk.This walk will also give you the chance to discover the Husprung resurgence, the Chapel of Peace and to pass through several villages typical of the region.

Starting from the Dreiländerblick viewpoint, which offers stunning panoramic views of the Moselle Valley on the German, French and Luxembourgish sides, the route descends towards Belmach and Haut-Apach before climbing up the opposite side towards the Kitzingerberg and reaching the village of Ritzing. After this first half of the walk, which takes place entirely in the forest, the landscape changes completely as you explore the countryside surrounding the Hirschenberg and its field of solar panels. After passing Malbrouck Castle, which was magnificently renovated at the end of the 20th century, the route crosses the village of Merschweiller before reaching the Chapel of Our Lady of Peace (Friedenskapelle) and the panoramic path that leads back to the starting point.You may well have the chance to see storks flying overhead, watch birds of prey soaring, and spot the odd roe deer at the edge of a woodland.

Running alongside shell limestone cliffs, the route takes you through the steep vineyards of the Palmberg, offering magnificent views over the Moselle valley. Pass through the Pellëmbierg nature reserve (Pellëm = boxwood). The return route through the Donverbach stream valley, with its waterfalls and ravine forest, adds variety to this walk.

The certified "Schengen without Borders" hiking trail starts in the village of Schengen at the European Museum. Passing through forests, fields and vineyards, the trail goes via Strombierg and offers breathtaking views of the Moselle valley (Sierck and Contz).

The route in the border triangle over the Stromberg, where the border between Luxembourg and France runs, offers fantastic views across the Moselle valley towards Luxembourg, France and Germany. Here, walkers can experience a borderless Europe at first hand.

(!) Please note that, following various reports, it appears that this hike is temporarily unavailable due to: - works in the town of Sierck, - temporary closure of the return route due to a fungus attacking the trees. An update will be published once the path is accessible again. This hike offers magnificent views of the Moselle valley, the Stromberg and Sierck Castle.

A magnificent hike in the La Houve forest, accessible to the whole family. Passing through Merten, La Ferme aux Cloches, the Miners' Trail, the Oak of the Cats, the fountain, the statue of Saint Christopher, Falck, the water tower and arrival at the car park.

Very well-signposted paths in the Warndt Forest (Saarland), a few kilometres from Creutzwald. You’ll follow the Hugenaux Trail, which crosses this German section. The paths are made of schist with patches of sand, then there is a forest road and some stonier paths (small gravel). You will also use a section of the Nordicpark. The paths are always at right angles to one another, so it is difficult to get lost.

Maginot Line Fort A24, known as the “Fort aux Fresques”, consists of an entrance block and three combat blocks. Its uniqueness lies in the various humorous murals depicting the life of a fortress crew, as well as the mottos and names of the different underground galleries. There is a single departure time for tours: please arrive 10 minutes before departure.

A very pleasant walk along the route of an old railway line that was used to supply the Maginot Line fortifications further east.
