September 19, 2022,🇩🇪 Saarschleife bei Mettlach

The Saar loop near Mettlach is a highlight! Only the cycle paths (on the left) are often made of gravel and forest paths! A ferry crossing on the loop was actually planned, but the ferry was closed!

The Saar loop near Mettlach with a view of the treetop path is already there
worth a tour.
The smooth ride directly on the Saar is a hit!
The weather was great! As a reward there was a copper in the beer garden of the Mettlach Abbey Brewery! The tour is definitely recommended.😎👍

The Saar loop, one of our favorite routes, with a castle.
On the way there we kept to the right through the great nature, wonderful cycle paths, not much going on.
In Mettlach we took a little tour of the town, we had two new ones with us, then towards the Saar loop and a short walk up to the …

The 100th tour on this channel, after plan A and B were killed by the hottest summer in Alkmaar, we went to the Saar.
Always nice here.
Classic round to the Sasr loop and back.
Lots of nature, little traffic, not so many people.
Everything's ok.

Unfortunately we had to take almost the same route back. We don't like doing that, but if there's no other option🤷

By today at the latest, the matter was settled, the Saar will be the start of my solo cycling trip next year. I really didn't imagine it would be so beautiful. Today we went to Mettlach and back, even the main road didn't bother us because it's just fantastically beautiful 🤩

Did a 🚲🚲 tour to Mettlach today. Unfortunately, the bike route leads along a federal road, only on the way back did we realize that you could also ride the route through the forest on the other side of the Saar
