マンデルバッハタールのおすすめライド

Very close by is the Hotel Fährhaus on the one-way street "Zur alten Fähre" (signposted from the bridge). It offers a very quiet and affordable stay with free parking and very friendly hosts. From there, the best way to reach Saarbrücken city center (approx. 6 km) is to cross this bridge and take the Saar Cycle Path on the left bank of the Saar River (car-free). On the right bank, the route is a bit longer and more circuitous, going around the marina.

🌉 Parablies Bridge – A Quiet Border Crossing over the Blies River The Parablies Bridge connects Germany and France in a truly peaceful way – between Bliesmengen-Bolchen and the French town of Schweyen. Surrounded by meadows, fields, and pastures, you cross the Blies River on a simple yet atmospheric footbridge. No traffic, no noise – just the feeling of simply leaving borders in your mind behind. 🇩🇪🇫🇷 Tip: Ideal for hikers or cyclists who want to consciously cross the border – with one foot in France, the other in the Saarland countryside.

🌾 View of the Bliesgau Biosphere Reserve – expanse, waves, value From here, the view opens up over one of the most impressive cultural landscapes in Saarland: the UNESCO Bliesgau Biosphere Reserve. Rolling hills, orchards, ancient beech forests, and wide fields characterize the panorama – vibrant, diverse, and full of ecological significance. 🌍 Tip: If you look carefully, you'll notice the many transitions between natural and cultural landscapes – the Bliesgau is not a nature conservation museum, but a living harmony between people and nature.

Ideal for cooling off on hot days. But unfortunately, it's not drinking water.

Always stop for a wheat beer

The supposed cycle path along the Blies is not a cycle path in terms of traffic law but a recreational path, with pedestrians having right of way. Please note the blue mandatory signs.
