Porta Nigra

Highlight • Historical Site

The Porta Nigra is the best-preserved Roman city gate north of the Alps – an unparalleled connection between the ancient past and today's modern city. The old city gate dates back to 170 AD, when the Romans liked to build public buildings out of large blocks. Since 1986, the Porta Nigra has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage and is protected cultural property under the Hague Convention.

Confluence of the Saar and Moselle

Highlight • River

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.

View of Saarburg

Very nice place. Because of the view is definitely worth the ascent to the castle!

View of Saarburg and Saarburg Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the bridge over the Saar you can enjoy an excellent view of the castle ruins and the St. Laurentius Church. But watch out for the traffic, because even if the main road across the Saar runs a little further south, a car will pass by here every now and then. For a photo, you'd better stop briefly on the bike path on the east bank. Here you are completely undisturbed.
