Inner Loop With View of the Cloef

Highlight • Trail

The inner loop is not quite as good of a surface. But there is less going on here. I really enjoy driving both sides of the Saar, not just the outer one.

Mettlach Lock

Highlight • Structure

Without the barrages, the Saar would not be navigable because the water level is too low.

Saar Loop

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The Saar Loop is probably the most famous attraction in Saarland. You'll get a particularly impressive view from the vantage point above the valley, but it's simply beautiful down here …
