View of Hellendorf

Highlight • Viewpoint

You can really relax on a quiet tour of the Saargau. You should definitely drive from Hellendorf to Eft, because the source of the Leukbach is located in Eft.

Here you can still find a building from the time when the water power of the Leuk drove many mills. Unfortunately the mill is slowly deteriorating.
