레바흐 최고의 사이클링 경로

The view of the Saarpolygon is fantastic, especially from the top of the slag heap.

Great view.

Partly wonderfully developed, highly recommended.

The quiet path leads through the Ellbach valley. I was happy to read that the Ellbach is being rebuilt. The valley is to be renaturalized from the source to the mouth by 2027. New habitat for birds and dragonflies is to be created. Ecological deficits caused by the straightening are to be compensated. In spring 2024, the Ellbach led to major flooding in Saarwellingen, certainly a result of the straightening and stream bed destruction in connection with climate change. https://www.saarbruecker-zeitung.de/saarland/saarlouis/saarwellingen/saarwellingen-ellbach-wird-renaturiert_aid-119168365

If you are looking for a bench with a nice view near a bike path, there are some recommended places in Saarland and especially in the region around Saarlouis. Here is one of them.

This is a really nice asphalted bike path

Excellent paved bike path surrounded by trees... I like it very much!

One building that testifies to Saarlouis as a fortress town is the German Gate. It forms the entrance to the city center and leads to the Great Market, the former parade ground. After the Battle of Waterloo, Saarlouis fell to the Prussians on December 1, 1815, who built casemates to the right and left of the German Gate (also on the sides of the French Gate, 450 meters away) from 1824 to 1829. These earth-covered vaults served as bullet-proof quarters for soldiers and horses during enemy attacks, but also as command posts. In peacetime, they were used as storage rooms for weapons and provisions. As traffic increased, the German Gate was demolished in 1886. In 1969, the casemate extensions to the right and left of the street were built as pedestrian passages. Today, the casemates east of Deutsche Straße house numerous restaurants. Opposite the German Gate was the provisions store, built between 1819 and 1822, which today serves as a warehouse for a department store. On the left outside of the gate, there are clear signs of the reconstruction of the building with the golden Prussian royal crown and the Prussian coat of arms, both of which are reminiscent of the Prussian period after 1815: From 1969 onwards, a historicizing ensemble with passages for pedestrians was built at the old location of the German Gate - without reference to the historical model. The buildings were decorated with cannons and coats of arms, thus conveying a certain historical character. The cannons date from the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71, which once adorned the war memorial at today's administrative court. Source: https://www.kuladig.de/Objektansicht/KLD-354059
