At the end of our vacation, we took a short walk to the beautiful Montclair castle ruins. We returned directly along the banks of the Saar.

We really enjoyed today's final tour in Mettlach. It first follows the paths of the Saarschleife table tour to Montclair Castle and then back along the shore path.
Again we have to climb a steep climb at the beginning, but you have to go through it for nice views. Mettlach lies beautifully with Saareck Castle and St. Lutwinus Church at …

Wonderful impressions and beautiful forest paths to a well-preserved and managed castle ruin 🏰

September 22, 2022,22_09_22 🍁🍂 Start in den Herbst 1 Mettlach, Montclair

We want to use the few sunny days for a first autumn trip. We start our journey in Mettlach with a short hike to Montclair Castle. Very nice with the great weather today. Unfortunately, the bistro was closed and coffee was only available from the machines. The castle is worth seeing and the 2€ for the ascent are worth it. …

April 29, 2023,Nordsaarland - Saarschleife und Burg Montclair

It's a pity that when I visit "home" there is never time for larger groups, because my home in northern Saarland has so much to offer. Grateful that there is enough time for at least a few steps, the path today leads to the Saar loop and to the Montclair castle ruins, which have been visited about 16,587.5 times since …

June 7, 2024,Burg Montclair – Schwefelfelsen Runde von Mettlach

Dear outdoor friends,
Today we went to the Saar Loop and were supposed to go to Montclair Castle, and on the way back along the Saar River past the sulfur rocks. But this time, things went a little differently than planned. The trail turned out to be a real highlight, and the castle was not really recommended. You can see …

Today I went to Montclair Castle near Mettlach. I followed the signs for the Tafeltour for a large part of the route (so I only used my phone to take photos 🙂).
The entrance fee to the castle costs 2 euros, which you should definitely invest because of the great view.
In the castle courtyard there was a tempting smell …

A beautiful loop from Mettlach to Montclair Castle and back along the Saar River.
Unfortunately, Komoot's navigation was only partially reliable. It's a good thing we also have a Garmin with us.
