The towpath leads directly along the banks of the Saar. On the other side of the river lies the World Heritage Site Völklinger Hütte. From the cycle path you have an impressive view of the old ironworks.

The World Heritage Site "Völklinger Hütte" is worth a visit! It gives an insight into the lifeline of the Saarland.

For more than 550 years, the 1313 ferry drove on the Saar near Volklinger Hütte (World Heritage Site), where the ferryman from Wehrden carried out his ferry service for people and heavy goods traffic at the intersection of two important trade routes near the intersection (Strasbourg - Saarbrücken - Trier and Metz-Mainz).
