Οι 13 καλύτερες καταρράκτες κοντά σε Zerf

The Hackenberger Mill in Saarburg is a 13th-century mill museum that is open seasonally. The season begins April 13th and is open from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. The entrance is located below the waterfall in Staden. The museum offers, among other things, a new listening tour and a detailed model of the mill.

Small, well-designed market with many places to stop for refreshments right by the Leukbach, a few small pedestrian bridges and the sound of the waterfall in the background. Often overrun with tourists, but still atmospheric.

the waterfall has something to it

After my return, everyone suddenly knew that this waterfall was here 🤷‍♂️

The old town of Saarburg with the castle, the church, the mill museum and the waterfall is definitely a magnet for visitors, at least in the summer months. Unfortunately, the old town is usually flooded with tourists on the weekends.

Here is the center of the tranquil town of Saarburg. There are numerous ways to strengthen yourself here. Sometimes there is a lot going on here.

Anyone who enters the butter market can already hear it - Saarburg's main attraction, the 20 meter high waterfall in the middle of the city centre, is noticeable from afar with its noise. The unique, spectacular spectacle can then be followed from several viewing platforms: with loud roaring and roaring, the mighty water masses of the Leukbach, which is just flowing so peacefully, rush down the steep rock cascades, foaming white. In the valley basin, the mill wheels of the Hackenberger Mühle are still being driven and then the Leukbach continues to murmur quietly until it flows into the Saar in the “Ländchen”. But that was not always so. We owe the waterfall to an urban planning masterpiece from the 11th or 12th century. The town lords of the time managed to divert the Leukbach through the middle of the medieval town. The purpose was to have enough extinguishing water in case of fire. They also made use of the power of the water and used it to drive the mill wheels of the town mill (today Hackenberger Mühle) and those of the Electoral Mill (today Amuseum). The butter market around the waterfall is the pulsating center of Saarburg. The picturesque streets with southern flair and the historic squares invite you to stroll and linger. The view from the street "Auf dem Graben" to the pretty rows of houses and the small bridges over the Leukbach is affectionately called "Saarburg's Little Venice". But that's not the only reason, the rows of houses directly on the stream also stand on oak pillars, as in the lagoon city. Saarburg's old town on the banks of the Saar enchants with its narrow streets and colorful fishermen's and boatmen's houses. A number of old house brands with motifs such as fish, anchors, boat hooks and oars are references to the old trades.
