Highlights in the Saarland
Saar loop
The top sight of the Saarland
Just a few kilometers from Merzig is probably the most beautiful sight in the whole of Saarland: the Saar loop.
You have a particularly great view from the Cloef vantage point or the Saarschleife treetop path.
By the way, there is also a Saar loop, namely near the village of Hamm. She’s not quite as well known, but actually just as beautiful.
Völklingen Ironworks
Completely preserved blast furnace plant
The Völklinger Hütte World Heritage Site is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Germany.
A trip to the first industrial monument from the beginning of industrialization is totally exciting and fascinating.
