Old Echternach Bridge (Sauer River Bridge)

Highlight • Bridge

The old Echternach bridge, it connects Luxembourg on one side of the Sauer with Germany on the other. The beautiful old stone bridge, which was rebuilt after the Second World War, is easy to reach from the Echternach Park as well as from several surrounding parking lots. From the bridge you have a beautiful view of the Sauer, but the old bridge itself is also worth a look. On the Luxembourg side you can also find the historic customs house. Overall, the old Echternach bridge is definitely worth a short visit.

Ralinger Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

The Nims-Sauertalbahn was a single-track, standard-gauge, non-electrified branch line (state railway) from Bitburg-Erdorf (on the Eifel route Trier-Cologne) to Igel in the Moselle valley. It led from the Kylltal via Bitburg, Irrel, through the Nimstal and the Sauertal. The line has been shut down and dismantled from Bitburg-Stadt train station in the direction of Irrel or Igel. The section between Bitburg and Bitburg-Erdorf is still passable; scheduled, regular traffic takes place e.g. Not currently taking place.

Wine Gate Mindener Weinterrassen

Highlight • Monument

The two curves are somewhat reminiscent of a wine glass. The whole gate is made of old grapevines, all woven together. Well worth seeing :)
