Saarland at its best
About this collection
Saarland is not very well known among motorcyclists and that is unjustified. It is a separate state of Germany, bordering France at the Alsace (also known as the Lorraine) and Northern Vosges and Luxembourg. Not far away and yet a lot to experience. The problem, I think, is that the area is partly industrial and partly heavily shaped by the eternal struggle between France and Germany.
The landscape, the culture and the roads are very rewarding. There is much natural beauty to see and experience, such as a tree crown walking path. Idar-Oberstein and its surroundings are also very worthwhile, especially because of the precious stones that are excavated here. The Saarschleife is famous: a large round bend in the Saar that you can view from above: spectacular! Nearby is Saarburg: a historic city with a castle, a deep river and a nice center. Well touristy. Then there's Sarreguemines, now formally French, but on the border with Germany. Also a very nice town with a lot of history. Saarbrücken is less beautiful, but still worth a visit.
If you are looking for (war) culture, this is the place to be. Many remnants can be found from the Middle Ages (castles, ruins, city gates), from the First World War (Ligne Maginot, which was built between the two World Wars) and from the Second World War (especially many honorary cemeteries and monuments).
The culinary culture here is famous for its flammkuchen: a kind of thin pizza with lots of meat and cheese on it. Enough fat to keep you going for the rest of the day...
The industry is also worth seeing. Near Völklingen, an old iron smelter has been transformed into a cultural center with many performances and exhibitions. Nearby there are mining museums on both the German and French sides.
These three routes take you everywhere, except the Saarscheilfe and Saarburg. You can easily visit them on the way there (or back).
The routes start at Hotel Mühlenthal, Bachtalstraße 214, 66773 Schwalbach. A nice small family run hotel in a quiet place not too far from Saarlouis.
Have fun!
