Cycling is an excellent way to explore Saarland, and there’s something for every level. Travelling by bike also opens the door to discovering the region’s culinary delights. Influenced by its proximity to France and its cuisine, there are endless opportunities to sample local specialities – from rustic inns to Michelin-starred restaurants.
The cycle paths in Saarland don't just take you to nice restaurants and beer gardens, they’re also wonderful for exploring the varied landscape of this small federal state. The biggest climbs can be found in the north, where the foothills of the Hunsrück offer beautiful distant views. Saarland’s countless streams and rivers are excellent for cooling off on hot summer days. The Bliesgau biosphere reserve, also known as the ‘Tuscany of the Saarland’ is a unique and wonderful land, and the Saar Loop is the chance to discover the region’s most famous natural landmark.
Although Saarland is now part of Germany, its history has been wrought with changes, and has previously been part of France, and even independent. This is reflected in the cultural diversity of the state and has been influenced by the role of the regional coal and steel industry, and its subsequent decline. Despite the challenges, the Saarlanders have stayed true to their principles: the joy of life, good food and culture - "savoir vivre".
We’ve put together a colourful mix of the most beautiful cycle Tours in Saarland for you in this Collection. Whether it's a multi-day bike trip, a challenging mountain bike Tour, or a long road bike loop, you'll discover the highlights of the state.
