Suggestion: Besseringen -> Mettlach an der Saarschleife, back over the barrage and on the other side of the Saar.

The Mettlach barrage was built as part of the expansion of the Saar in 1986. It has a height difference of 11 m, making it the second highest on the Saar after the Serrig barrage at 14.5 m.
The barrages on the Saar each have a large lock (190 m usable length, 12 m width, 4 m drempel depth), a small lock (40 m usable length, 6.75 m width, 3 m drempel depth), a weir and a hydroelectric power station with 2 tubular turbines.
