Saarland may be one of the smallest states in Germany, but it has a lot to offer hikers. The region has hundreds of kilometers of hiking trails to explore its varied landscapes. In this Collection, we’ve put together 67 premium hiking trails in Saarland to inspire you to lace up your hiking shoes and get exploring.

Saarland offers wonderful nature: beautiful, lush green forests, blooming orchards, fantastic views, and romantic valleys. The quiet and idyllic landscapes will transport you far away from the stresses of everyday life.

You can choose from a huge number of hiking trails that reveal a different aspect of the region. The trails take you over the heights of the upper Black Forest, around the impressive Saar Loop, and through history along the French border. All of the hikes are circular and many are also great for children. Thanks to Saarland’s small size, it also doesn’t take long to get to the starting points of each hike and travel onto the next. Nonetheless, there’s plenty of Saarland for you to discover!
