Nice view of the wide river basin, surrounded by the view of the city of Konz. At the junction, there are larger meadows with benches on the bank. These can be reached by bike on the Saar cycle path.

Hey Komootler, I've never been to this area. The Saar cycle path is beautiful and Saarburg is a real gem. The spacious RV park on the Saar is a very good starting point for discoveries in all directions.

Very nice, not strenuous tour along the Moselle and Saar. Along the old Saar, wine tasting with the well-known TV presenter, climbing the Saarburg and finally trying a Viez.

September 20, 2024,Von Trier nach Saarburg

The weather gods were still kind to us and we went on a bike ride from Trier along the Saar to Saarburg. We could have saved ourselves the stretch in Trier along the Moselle, though.

May 19, 2025,Auf nach Saarburg 😊

Today we visited Saarburg. Of course, we cycled there again on the beautiful Saar Cycle Path.

We then explored Saarburg on foot: the castle, the waterfall, Little Venice, and...a truly beautiful little town.

Then we headed back along the other side of the Saar River and enjoyed a delicious meal on the banks of the Moselle in Konz.

After we could literally enjoy a Riesling wine tasting at a winery, the wine was stowed away, we went from Saarburg to Konz.
Very nice bike path with a lot of everything that makes a good bike path.
The weather could have increased more than a tad, maybe it will still be.

The starting point was the car park at Saarburg train station. You can park here all day for one euro. After a few meters you are on the Saar cycle path. From there it is very easy to get to Konz. It is interesting to bypass the branch of the Saar. At the mouth of the Moselle you go to …
