    The Saar Loop is probably the most famous attraction in Saarland. You'll get a particularly impressive view from the vantage point above the valley, but it's simply beautiful down here too. You can drive right along the water, with the steep, wooded slopes of the nature reserve rising above you.

    The Saar loop is a breakthrough valley of the Saar through the Taunus quartzite and is one of the most famous sights of the Saarland.

    The most popular view is the Cloef viewpoint, 180 m high above the river, in the Orscholz district of Mettlach. The bank is formed by rock walls, rubble heaps and small ravines.

    An area of around 100 hectares west of the Saarschleife is under nature protection as the Steinbachtal west of the Saarschleife.

    A view from the viewing platform is worthwhile.
