Little Venice of Saarburg

The butter market is the pulsating center of Saarburg. The Buttermarkt owes its nickname "Saarburg's Little Venice" to the view from the bridge "auf dem Graben" of the Leukbach and the rows of houses that still rest on mighty oak piles.

The area of the butter market with its over the Leuk is particularly worth seeing in the upper town. Another focal point of the elongated square is the building Am Markt 2, originally an inn, later a residential and commercial building, today a bank. The following row of houses dates from the 17th and 18th centuries and extends along the waterfall. This IS framed on the opposite side by the former electoral mill, today's “Amüseum” (municipal museum for traditional craft trades and guilds). The old town hall, which burned down in 1900, stood directly in front of the mill with a view of the butter market.

Great little town with a heady, loud and beautiful waterfall. At the watercourse, in front of the waterfall, you can look for different places with outdoor catering according to your personal taste sunny and shady places. From there it is worth taking a walk to the castle to enjoy the view.
