シュメルツ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

It's best to come after heavy rain, then the weirs are opened and you have a touch of Niagara😉.

The barrage is heavily frequented by hikers and bikers on nice days.

I can only recommend the beer garden.

You can cross the Saar at the barrage.

𝑮𝒆𝒔𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒕𝒆 𝑺𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒎 𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒅𝒆𝒎 𝑲𝒓𝒆𝒖𝒛 𝒃𝒆𝒊 𝑺𝒐𝒕𝒛𝒘𝒆𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒓 In 1914 a tower in honor of Kaiser Wilhelm II was to be built on the mountain plateau. However, the execution of this plan was interrupted by the First World War. Only a 5 m high ruin remained, on which a tower with an integrated war memorial chapel was built from 1927. The larger-than-life crucifix set in the central arch of the tower was striking. This tower had to be demolished in 1972 because it was in disrepair. The undamaged crucifix should be blown up. The construction workers, all from the Catholic villages in the vicinity or of Italian origin, refused to blow up the symbol of faith. The crucifix was removed undamaged, kept for a short time in a shed on the edge of the mountain plateau and later set up not far from the motorway junction near Sotzweiler. Source: Text Wikipedia

𝑹ö𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒉𝒆 𝑯ö𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒇𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒖𝒏𝒈 The extensive excavations that were carried out during the redesign of the Schaumberg plateau showed for the first time that the area was already being used intensively in Roman times. An extensive building with mighty walls in particular deserves attention. It proves that the square was already built on in the 3rd century AD. The foundation stone of the building took place in the 1st / 2nd Century AD. The oldest part is a wall at least 19m long and 1.1m thick made of hand blocks, which belonged to a 12m wide building, against which several vaulted cellars were placed shortly afterwards. A coin find shows that these cellars were demolished towards the end of the 3rd century AD and the building was reinforced by a row of arched walls. Very unusual and almost unknown from archaeological excavations, these arches do not open inwards but outwards. The building is interpreted as a high altitude sanctuary, which later became a fortification structure. Source: Text information board

Easy to climb right at the beginning of the tour

Losheim reservoir Surrounded by natural landscape, the Losheim reservoir presents itself to visitors as an attractively designed recreation center. It was built under the direction of Mayor Raimund Jakobs of the municipality of Losheim over a three-year planning and construction period with major state funding from the federal and state governments. The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by Prime Minister Dr. Franz-Josef Röder and the mayor on September 26, 1972. With a length of 1,200 meters, a maximum width of 400 meters and a capacity of 1.5 million cubic meters of water, the lake covers an area of 31.1 hectares. It was inaugurated on April 28, 1974 and handed over to its intended use. A modern campsite and an eco-village with comfortable wooden houses, as well as an integrated swimming pool, complement the tourist function of the reservoir. With its water sports opportunities and hiking and jogging on a four-kilometer-long circular path, it has already been the destination of millions of visitors. The Seehotel as well as hotels, restaurants and guesthouses in the districts of the municipality of Losheim am See offer good accommodation options for tourists. The lake is the destination of many representative events throughout the year. Source: Text information board
