西暦2000年近く前にローマの都市の門として建てられたポルタ・ニグラは、ほぼ無傷で何世紀にもわたってその姿を保ってきました。 7,200個の石材ブロックで造られ、高さは29メートルです。 中世には教会として使用されていましたが、800年を経て再び都市の門としての機能を果たしています。 今日、その名の意味である「黒い門」は、ユネスコ世界遺産に登録されており、トリーアのランドマークとなっています。 https://www.urlaub-in-rheinland-pfalz.de/urlaub/766/Porta_Nigra/index.htm

The Porta Nigra (Latin for "Black Gate"; formerly also Porta Martis and Römertor) is a former Roman city gate built from 170 AD on Porta Nigra Square and is a symbol of the city of Trier. The name Porta Nigra comes from the Middle Ages. The inhabitants of Trier usually only call the gate "Porta". The Porta Nigra has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage in Trier since 1986. Furthermore, it is a protected cultural asset under the Hague Convention. The Porta Nigra is the best preserved Roman city gate in Germany.

Where the Saar and Moselle meet The Moselle and Saar originate in France and meet in Konz after a long journey through varied landscapes. The two rivers give our holiday region its name and have shaped a unique landscape. At the mouth of the Saar there is a triangular sculpture as a place of peace and meditation. You can sit in the stone, shielded from external influences. It is quieter in the stone and the sound of the water is amplified.

Here the Saar flows into the Moselle and forms a small German Corner. There is a pyramid-shaped stone here as a monument to Kaiser Wilhelm.

A multimedia installation illustrates how the ancient city gate could become a place of veneration of saints in the Middle Ages. The city gate was built from approx. 7200 stone blocks around 170 AD, and thanks to the massive construction it has been preserved to this day. With the end of the Roman Empire and the change of time, the city gate was used in a variety of ways. In the 11th century, the building served as a dwelling for the monk Simeon, who lived as a hermit. With his death, the city gate was converted into a church complex - another reason why it has been preserved to this day. The following centuries were marked by renovation and maintenance measures. Under Napoleon's rule, the church was dissolved in 1803 and a restoration of the ancient design was ordered. Even today, measures for the renovation and maintenance of the Porta Nigra are taking place.

Ideal place to have a picnic and enjoy the view. Think about the fact that the Saar is the longest tributary of the Moselle with over 230 km and flows through this into the Rhine into the North Sea👍
